And the Church Kept Singing

Halfway through the worship set, the sound cut out. For a moment, it was actually quite funny. There was a loud pop, then suddenly all you could hear was a distant echo of the song. The slight strum from the acoustic guitar player's strings. The beat of the snare and the buzz of the trumpet, muted behind their plexiglass screens. The murmur of the lead singer's voice, barely carrying through the huge room. The sound cut out, and the worship team kept playing. And the Church kept singing. The problem was fixed before the song was over. Almost as if it was planned, the worship team naturally began to crescendo, when suddenly the sound was back. As if there had been no problem at all, the worship team kept playing. And the Church kept singing. All was well--until it wasn't. Halfway through the pastor's sermon, the sound cut out. For a moment, it was actually quite funny. There was a loud pop, then suddenly all you could hear was a distant echo of his voice.
