Playing harp in Church

Yesterday was called "Sunday Cantate" in German protestant churches. For this occasion I was asked to let my harp "sing" during the church service. I'm not really a church goer and can't remember the last time I went to a regular service without any special event like wedding, christening or konfirmation and it was also the first time with our new pastor. 

We got the best spot in the church - the centre in front of the altar where everyone could see me playing. Although I didn't see the audience I was a bit nervous and made a couple of mistakes. With a violin it might have sounded queer, but a harp sounds always wonderful and everyone was delighted about the unusual sounds and asked me to bring the harp again.
