There is nothing wrong with having a Super Bowl party at a church. I would much rather hang out with my Christian friends and enjoy watching the game in a lively atmosphere that isn’t filled with smoke, raunchy talk and copious amounts of booze. Plus, a lot of churches use the halftime as a chance to share some type of message or devotional. Even if they don’t “hold church”, then there is also a good chance that a non-believer will be there to see that Christians DO enjoy life. After all, wasn’t the very first mention of Jesus’ ministry his attendance at a wedding?
Let’s not fuddy-duddy ourselves, Christians.
Exactly. Some of the posters here think churches should only be cathedral-like, silent dark places.
My church has a rock-climbing wall in it!
And yet our Sunday messages are strong, Bible-based, and completely “religious,” probably more so than the boring “traditional” (and liberal, most likely) churches’ messages.
Wake up, everyone! The boring churches are things of the past. No one under 50 attends them anymore.
20-50 year olds, which are Gen X and Y, the future, attend churches which would like to show the Super Bowl—yes, for fellowship and also for evangelism to the community.
