Way back when I used to want to be the next Chris Tomlin (because we don’t have enough worship leaders), I remember starting a “worship band” (because we don’t have enough worship bands).
I actually got us all together for I think one jam-slash-practice… Looking back, they were actually pretty stinking solid musically. A patient, and accurate drummer, a skilled bassist (who could play upright, etc.), and a fantastic female vocalist… and I was ‘humble’ enough that I even planned to let her sing lead on a few songs.
If this is not embarrassing enough, I remember quite distinctly proposing a name for this worship band (or was it more informing them!?). I think I’d even printed out a ‘logo’ on plain white 8 1/2 x 11 (which is NOT exactly the same size as A4, for all you kiwi readers), using —ouch the embarrassment!!!— Papyrus font on Microsoft word.
I don’t remember if it was as two, one or two hyphenated words, but I obviously felt that it would help to explain the ‘inspiration’ behind the name: “Servant-saints” (!!!) “You know, cuz we’re called to be servants, and we’re also seen by God as saints.”

amazing. deepest darkest, here we are.
I took up probably 7 minutes of a sermon one time talking about the evils of Papyrus and Comic Sans.
But you’re not alone – I remember being in a Christian band called Rain On Sunday… and we covered Audio Adrenaline’s “Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus” in our one and only gig.
Lydia – I know, right!?
Rhett – great stuff – though I would take your band name and activity over mine! :D
