Stumbled across this fun sermon-starter from Rev. Richard Fairchild, based on this week's gospel lesson from Luke 14:1, 7-14.
Sermon and Liturgy for Ordinary 22 - Proper 17 - Year C.
Here's what caught my eye:
"I want you all to do something unexpected - and perhaps a bit uncomfortable for you. I want you to change seats - to move around to a place where you rarely, if ever sit.
So get up - and move - those on my right - please move to my left. And those at the back - move to the front. Let us do it - come - and see what it feels like...."
Thinking about trying it with my congregation. Though, this could spark a revolt....!

I know what you mean. Once as a guest preacher, I asked the entire congregation to move forward a minimum of three pews during the greeting time. Some were glad I'd done it. Others not so much.
