I'm speaking specifically on the Sunday-to-Sunday activities (or other days when Christians gather
as a group to worship in a church).

I'm talking specifically about the execution of those worship activities. For example, I think it's

"Let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Cor. 14:40).

God is a God of order, so I believe He does care.

Also...

Ministers are to work not only for God's glory, but also for the edification of the congregation. So, out of love and respect for both God and the congregation, a minister should give his all to the work of ministering (i.e. be fully prepared, engaged, and passionate about his message; a man of genuine love for the children of God).
