I could see the wisdom in putting the 'boring' (or reserved) service 
last if it will continue to be the same and will be in the same time 
block - then those folks who think change is evil won't become 
discomforted. Far easier to make changes if you don't wake up the 
loudmouths. (Tongue partially in cheek)

Secondly - unless your pastor has nail scars in his hands and a hole 
in the side of his chest he shouldn't be making those sweeping kinds 
of changes without consulting the people who have to make it 
work.  Sounds like you might have a little bit of input that could be 
worthwhile.

It seems that if you are doing two different services, the one that 
requires the most prep needs to be first, like choir and orchestra 
warm ups - they may have to get there earlier but that is the price 
of stardom. The service that requires the least amount of prep goes second

We have 2 services. The worship team practices from 8-8:50. (and on 
Wed nights) We usually don't have any music in our first service (9 - 
10:30)- we pray for an hour and have a 1/2 of teaching. We don't play 
until the 11 service.

As for making the service attractive - don't lock yourself in, it may 
take awhile to see 'what works'. Our Prayer and teaching service 
doesn't  match the 2nd service which is contemporary and high energy, 
with lots of music. It or the 2nd service might change as we continue 
to be as effective as we can in our sunday morning worship.

Don't be run by the negative. If 175 out of 200 people think an 
acoustic service is a bad idea, who cares. Take your core of 25 and 
work with them.
