Joni Mitchell once told an audience that she couldn't create the same performance every show. She said it would be like asking Van Gogh to paint a Starry Night every evening.

And art is reinterpreted through the eyes and ears of everyone who might experience it. That's what it's about. You created what you felt but others see it through their own lens. Maybe you'll really like their ideas, those church folks can get some darn good music goin' on. It's where I learned my early lessons.

I think you should go with an open mind and I'd almost be willing to bet money that you'll have a really good time. Having the choir behind you is a big complement, take it and run. And congrats!
