Country Music Comes to Church

For those of you who may not know, The Summit meets weekly in a movie theater. Our service begins at 10:15am and usually ends promptly by 11:15am. While we are gathering in theater 6, the Regal employees are arriving to do the preliminaries such as making popcorn and making sure each theater is ready for its first showing around noon. Today I learned that their morning checklist also involves turning on the music in each of their eighteen theaters, including the one in which we have been meeting for the past five weeks. Right in the introduction of my message I heard this music in the background…at first I thought our media guys were messing things up, but since they never make mistakes I quickly realized that the annoying country music now being heard by everyone was coming from the theater house system. I’m not sure if it was Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, or Willie Nelson but their words were now getting more attention than mine. What was I supposed to do? Since I’ve never taken line dancing lessons, putting on boots and a cowboy hat while shuffling to the music were definitely out of the question! Oh well. Life goes on even when crazy stuff happens in your worship service.

That was SO incredibly funny! You did a great job improvising…the line dancing comment was perfect! Just think…all the people who were there now have another story to tell others. God can even use moments like that to spread the word about The Summit!

Wish I could have been there! I heard it on the recording of your message — great job making a joke of it all. I think it would be really funny if that happened on a Sunday morning at CBT! :-)
