Rachelle,

Well, you asked.

Some people will like it and some won't.  I'm in the latter group.  
I don't know about churchy, but ... Up With People ...

I'd be guided by the Hippocratic Oath:  First, do no harm.

My two zuzim.

In an effort to reach out to the congregation in our large, high-ceilinged sanctuary, I thought we would try making an entrance from the back of the sanctuary, singing our opening song in the center aisle while mounting the bimah.  I plan to try it out at rehearsal but wonder if anyone has any experience with this working or not working well.  Some suggest it is too churchy.  I don't really make that association, but perhaps I am wrong.
