Sleepy Worship

Let me start by saying that I absolutely love my church. I have learned so much and grown in my faith by leaps and bounds since my family became members over 5 years ago. Like every church, its not perfect but I'm deeply committed in a way I've never been in the past.
 One of the "non-perfect" things is that during praise and worship the congregation always seems...well, asleep. In no way do I want to judge people and how they worship God but when you look out and see hardly anyone singing along with the choir than you wonder what people must be thinking. It's been like this for as long as I have been attending so while it does frustrate me, I've also just gotten used to it. I just try to concentrate on my own attitude and make sure that my heart is in the right place for worship.
 Our pastor is aware of this problem and apparently decided to add 3 more songs to what we usually sing in the morning. Now I have no problem with this idea and I love having a longer praise and worship time on Sunday. I was raised in a contemporary church back in Hawaii so singing 6 or more songs does not seem odd or long in the slightest. It actually wasn't until we moved to the South that it became apparent to me that many churches really just want to sing their 2-3 songs and be done with it. How sad! Why would we not want to spend as much time as we could praising our Creator?? Our choir leader once said, "How can we put on a time limit on the One who we are going to spend eternity with?"
 I don't really know how people feel about singing these extra songs on Sunday. I guess only time will tell. What I do know is that I want The Church to wake up! Wake up and realize that if we really believe that God is here with us then He deserves our time and undivided attention.
