A cross between church, summer camp and the Farmer's Market. But they're college kids and kids like to play around. The jazz music sounds nice. I even looked up the Emily Dickinson poem. Not bad.
But I expect more from an established church on Sunday mornings, and I bet you do, too. Did you read the link about the various services at Saddleback? I think Hula church is fine for Hawaiians in Maui, but it seems more like voyeurism for accountants in Orange County.
In all these discussions, the Reformed are made out to look like party-poopers. But in truth, I think we like our church services strong and straight-up.
And I make no apologies for that. As good a poet as Emily Dickinson might have been, David was better.
Our pastor preached for 40 minutes today from Deuteronomy 34 and it was awesome.
