unchangeable ???

I've just been having a little chat with a Friend form Church, About 'CHANGE'. At the church where I go, The Salvation Army, we have recently had a new Officer, (a vicar) He is young and very determined in his work, he is also very good at what he does. hes been with us about 18months, and is hoping to stay at least 10 years. (normally officers only stay at a corps for about 3 years).

In the Recent weeks he has started to make changes within the church and the most notiucable one is the Layout of the seats and platform. for as long as i can remember the hall has always been set out in one way, four rows with eight seats and the band!. Bu it was mentioned that during a service you could only see the back of peoples heads, (me being who i am, i love to see peopel reactions to certain things) so being able to see more people during church is cool!, so the next sunday the chairs were arranged in arched rows, now you can see across church and see faces rather than backs of heads. and everyone seemed to like it.

A few Sundays later the whole of the hall had been set out differently everything had moved! but this time people didn't like it and started moaning, but the officer told everyone, that its just a trial to see if things work out.

The weirdest thing that happened was people saying they didn't feel comfy because they had sat in certain places before or that they didn't feel as close to God! Now im a weirdo, but how can a change of seat effect your love with God?

Thats my little rant over.

So change is it always bad? Can good things come from change?

Many things have changed in my life, but even though some changes take longer to adapt to or accept, and others are easy to live with and i benefit from them, i know that my love God is the same! and His Love for me is the same!, no matter what changes i make i know he is there, because God is good!
