Friday Evening Worship – Elias Kehr

The hymn sing Friday night could be considered somewhat of a failure. Despite the fact that the man leading hymns was supposedly well-known, he led the songs at such a slow pace that the evening seemed more like a funeral than a joyful hymn sing. He also added random songs that weren’t in the program and bullocksed up 606 by trying to manipulate the pace and dynamics in ineffective ways. However, the service was punctuated by short sketches by the likes of Ted & Co. that were okay, but not particularly enjoyable, as Ted reverted to his trademark “gruff voice.” Even though performance wasn’t the best, though, there were many people there and all of them were williing to sing, which was a good thing to see.
