Dear Pastor John,
Why is a church charging admission?
Why is a church having a Super Bowl party?
What do either one of those things have to do with studying the word of God and building up the Christian?

Dear NFL,
Why are you $o paranoid about a church $howing the Super Bowl that would take legal action to $top them?
One of the TV network$ paid an exorbitant amount of money ju$t for the right$ to broadca$t it.
I ju$t don't under$stand what has gotten into the NFL managment. Are you $o con$umed with money that you are willing to take all the fun out of watching the $uper Bowl?
Your'$ truly,

Ever heard of the word 'fellowship'? Why did Jesus dine with a tax collector and hang out with sinners? Why did Jesus waste time by going to a wedding (not to mention changing the water into wine?) Why did he waste time with the little children?
Bryan, our church is mostly about worship, but I am not aware of anything scriptural prohibiting fellowship by watching TV or playing sports or otherwise enjoying the company of other Christians outside of the worship experience. My guess is that the church wanted to provide a venue without alcohol and some of the other revelry that usually accompanies Super Bowl parties (which is why I am going to a non-church-sponsored Super Bowl gathering-- I need a beer or two to watch football).
LOL!!!
