One Fish, Two Fish; Old Church, Small Church...

It's very hard to break a church of the old/small mentality. Nothing is done well, nothing is done professionally or up to quality. No one says no to anyone, it's difficult to establish authority or provide adequate motivation. It can be very frustrating. We are getting there, but every once in a while, it rears it's ugly head, and the lax, same-old, same-old comes out to play, and things get left either undone, or done at half the quality. It is also difficult when you are dealing with a lot of family in your set up crew and worship team. It is very easy to get wrapped up in it, and I need to stay above it. I'm working on that.
Anyway, Sunday mornings have been very frustrating lately. Whether it's getting into the theater late, or people not there, or little comments here and there in a mocking or sarcastic tone. It is very distracting, and I know it affects the worship.
I'm open to suggestions as to how to deal with this.
