If you know me, you know that much!!!)<BR/><BR/>I really don't care for the whole concept of taking your stuff with you into service. How can you fully give your attention to praising God and listening to the message if your are focused on your coffee/latte/softdrink etc? I mean, come on, can't you go an hour without a sip of something?<BR/><BR/>Church shouldn't be turned into a "social club", it should remain a place of worship where Christ is the center of our attention. The only drink on our minds should be a drink of the living water!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083175912948986487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27561744.post-83630143458863076362007-11-05T13:54:00.000-05:002007-11-05T13:54:00.000-05:00I couldn't help but comment on coffee in the worsh...I couldn't help but comment on coffee in the worship service. I know that Northside Christian allows everyone to take their drinks into the service and I have heard more than one person say they really love the worship at Northside but noticed that not very many really get into it. I had to smile when you mentioned Eastside and your observations about their involvment in worship. Maybe those that are not "getting into" the praise and worship are more concerned with their drinks. I realize that this was instituted to appeal to the seekers, however it is a real pet peave of mine, that we are so soft that we cannot go an hour or so without our favorite drink in our hand. Worship should not be like going to the movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27561744.post-66224605330103720842007-11-05T09:02:00.000-05:002007-11-05T09:02:00.000-05:00Glad you enjoyed your time abroad - but we missed ...Glad you enjoyed your time abroad - but we missed you & your gang at GCC!Rebecca Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965781380511208862noreply@blogger.com
