I agree, this was a classic piece. I laughed and moaned through the whole thing. It was timely because we are looking around for some youth ministry for Carissa, our 15 yr. old granddaughter, while we are without a youth pastor at our regular church. So, we decided to go to "The Rock, a Jesus church". I wan't sure what to expect but we knew it had a large youth attendance. Church is held in an industrial park in a large converted warehous they call the garage. It seated about 300 and it was filled to the brim. It was 80% people under thirty and it was buzzing with electricity. We have just gone the one time but when we left Carissa knew this was the place she wanted to go. I understood, with that many young people there was an energy and an expectation that God was working here. The service was not really that unique, the Pastor, a fella in his late forties, was a good speaker but not unique. The music was the same, contemporary, about like a vineyard church, but there was something about it that I can't explain, maybe it was like a college campus, buzzing with young people, very casual, lots of donuts and coffee and everyone talking to each other. Just made you want to come back. Seeing a black van with the "Invisible Children" logo on it parked there set the stage for me. Dad

I loved it when they opened the door, heard the music and then left. Classic.
That show rules.
