Hey peeps!
I went to Church!
Yes you read right , and I survived without bursting into flames !!!
Ok for those that know me will understand how ironic the situation as I live in a church,but have never visit the establishment.
So it was with trepidation that I dragged myself out of bed this morning and followed my girl to church.
This church isn't like your typical old skool church, firstly it is set in the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel!
You are greeted by parking attendants that direct you where to park, once you enter the venue, you are welcomed with refreshments from tea, coffee , to biscuit and pastries and you are made to feel at home.
Entering a hall that can seat around 200 people - every seat is filled - you are greeted with a room packed with the latest technology, its like entering into a pop concert.
I am talking TV plasma screens, full band, cordless mics, laptops, the works.... this ain't no joke !
The service begins with the Praise and Grace team....... their role is to warm up the crowd, so like a concert they come on to warm up the audience for the main event , and these guys took the task in hand.
The joy that they exuberate took it to another level, their singing made the heart cry even if you didn't want to, and then there were ushers on hand with boxes of tissues if you so needed it - the depth of their belief showed in how they brought the crowd in to share their worship with them
The preacher /paster made the sermon interactive with the audience and thus had their attention the entire time
Hold up a classical ensemble them took it to another level, I am talking violins and cellos that had the entire room in silence ....... am I in the right place ????
Overall the experience wasn't as bad as I may have thought, I didn't have any expectation before going, but it brought home that we we are in the 21st century where churches have face book/ Twitter and blogs, where you can text your pastor to get the sermon of the day......
This is society moving forward!
Like they say , you can find a good looking man women in the church and they weren't kidding I saw some brothas in the place today :)
So maybe the church will see me again on another visit
Until da next Tyme !
