On the way to my regular church, I pass the mall, and every Sunday there are signs out that say a church meets in the theater at the mall. In the theater! I’ve wanted to go there for a long time. Yesterday, I finally went.
The service and theology were similar to the last church I visited. The feel was different though. The preacher seemed like a lay person. He talked about Father’s Day. His message wasn’t polished, but it was earnest. I liked it.
The crowd was different, too. They were very vocal, and interacted with one another as if they all knew each other. There was a strong family feeling there.
The service was an hour and fifteen minutes long. Afterward, I stopped at Starbucks.
It was literally on the way out! I got a chai latte. I hadn’t had one of those in ages.
What a great experience! I love that this is something you do. Was it weird being in a theater chair or was is so comfortable you are going to suggest it to all churches? 🙂
The seat was very comfortable. I was glad this theater didn’t have reclining seats though. I would have been asleep for sure, no matter how exciting the music was.
