Ideas for your Church: Water Bottles
This is a simple idea, but it is worth trying…
One time we had a family visit our church. They all seemed to enjoy the service, but afterward the daughter said, “This church sings so much they should provide water bottles in the pews!” We all laughed at that, but the comment stuck with me.
Recently (in another church) we had a Sunday afternoon Hymn Sing. The weather was hot, but we were prepared for that. I told the story of young Natalie’s observation and said, “Guess what. That’s exactly what we are going to do!” With that, a couple of our men came down the aisle with small chilled bottles of water which were distributed to anyone who wanted one. It brought a laugh, but it also served a good purpose.
Perhaps you worship in air conditioned comfort. We do not. A refreshing drink of water was just the thing to add more zest to the singing on that warm afternoon.
