We’re Gonna Have Some Church

Have you ever attended a church service in a theatre? I’ve been to a lot of church services, and a few of them were very concert-like, in huge theatres. I once saw Carman live, here at the Stanley Theatre in Utica, NY, and that was an absolute blast! It was his “Radically Saved” Tour; ever hear his skit about the disciples in the Upper Room? It is terrific! In it he says, “We’re gonna have som’ CHURCH!” and the audience goes wild, lol. Nothing like a really fun time like that!

I’ve also been to a few Christian services where we performed skits on stage. And when I was a kid, my parents took me to see the jaw-dropping Easter play performed at Hill Cumorah in Palmyrah, NY. That was an event to remember. Probably the most amazing church services I’ve ever seen were videos of the Kathryn Kuhlman services in the 1960s, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles– what spectacular services those must have been for the attendees! How I wish I’d been there! And I love listening to the Hillsongs CDs where they get everyone involved in the worship. Church services in theatres are wonderful events, where there is such an atmosphere of devotion, camraderie, and excitement.

There is a large, special theatre church service coming this week, and it sounds incredible, too; click here to find out more. It’s the first annual Theatre Church Conference in Silver Spring, MD, October 22-23. It’s a composium of pastors and church leaders from the United States’ fatest-growing churches to discuss the future of theatre worship. It sounds like an amazing event. If you are going to be in the Silver Spring area of Maryland this week, it sounds like a wonderful event to check out, you can find out more here about this event and others.
