Our Most Embarrassing Moments...III

1 comments

I just couldn't resist!  Yep, the laughs just keep going.  I enjoyed pulling together the first couple posts on our most embarrassing moments in music ministry, that I just had to put another one together.  What a gift to be able to laugh at ourselves!  And what a greater gift is His forgiveness of our blunders!  Enjoy.

If you're like me, you will likely find these painfully familiar, especially the last one down below (ugh!).

Ring-a-doodle-do!
"The bass player at my last church accidentally left his phone on stage turned on with a chicken clucking as his ringtone. Well it started ringing during the sermon much to the pastor's surprise, and my friend's embarrassment!"

Breathtaking!
"At my small rural, traditional Methodist church we were doing a hymn sing service where I let the congregation request any hymn from the hymn book. Someone requested "How Great Thou Art". As they tend to enjoy this type service, they really get passionate and into the singing and so do I (and keep in mind we are really laid back and comfortable with each other on Sunday nights). So when we got to the end where you would put in the fermatas, I really held them out long.

Phone Fumble

I had my phone ring right next to the microphone during a silent prayer. I was so embarrassed!

More Phone Fumbles...

Here is the most recent done by our lead pastor.

Each week during the greeting, either brent or I say, "Please remember to turn off your cellphone or pagers." We have learned to say it many different creative ways. Sometimes I say "if it rings, hums, beeps or vibrates turn it off so you don't miss God."

Our Most Embarrassing Moments...

Although we'd like to think we'll be flawless in front of the microphone, Mr. Murphy's law inevitably catches up with us!

When it happens to me, I quickly remind myself what a loving and forgiving God we have!

What is your most embarrassing moment in Music Ministry?

I recently asked this question to a forum of music ministers and here are a few of the mortifying tales.

But, first here is my most embarrassing moment.
