We had two blended services each morning for a long time. Same service twice. We had old people complaining about every song we did that was written after 1965 if it wasn't a Gathier tune. Always complained that it was to loud. We'd go from a contemp song into Amazing Grace. Amazing Grace would be just as loud or louder, and yet that was never to loud for the seniors.

Finally we went to two different services. Piano and Organ in the first one, and contemporary in the second service. After a couple of years about half of the seniors started saying.. I sure do miss the orchestra and all of the musicians. You can't make people happy. You gotta just do your very best to play your very best for God in a way that brings emotion in the service, and prepares hearts for God's message. I really believe that.

Haven’t heard the complaining myself. Perhaps all the grouchy old windbags have gone someplace else to complain. Going to church and fellowship with the people at the churches where I have been are the highlight of my week.
