How much variety do your assemblies have?  Some say, "Variety is the spice of life."  Are your public worship experiences fresh and dynamic as a result of prayer, planning and preparation? Or, are they unchanging and overly predictable?  As one who has planned many worship assemblies, I have found it quite difficult to implement variety on a regular basis.  I also believe there are many different (yet appropriate) moods of worship.

Perhaps some people do not feel the need for variety.

Here's a question for those of you who effectively incorporate variety in your congregations.  How do  you shuffle the order of worship?  What elements do you add and/or subtract from time to time to enhance your assemblies?  Videos?  Testimonies?  Special themes?  Other?

Of course, worship is very personal as everyone should come prepared to contribute and participate, not to be entertained.   However, shouldn't those who are charged with planning the elements and the order of worship prayerfully attempt to avoid a rut and seek to provide the most conducive environment for worshipers?

How would you rate your assemblies?

1 - 2     Never changing - predictable
3 - 5     Infrequent change - could benefit from more variety
6 - 8     Quite a bit of variety -  engaging
9 -10    Maximum variety - always fresh
