I attended Savannah Christian's Late Church at the invitation of my friend, Leslie. It's held downtown at the Savannah Theater. It was interesting. Some of the sermon did not agree with my beliefs, but for the most part, it was an enjoyable sermon. I was impressed that the church required marriage counseling prior to being married in the church. The preacher mentioned that during his sermon. The set up of the service is very similar to Ekklesia and the worship we do at Wesley Retreats and the United Methodist Student Movement I attended in Michigan.
Its theme was Making a Courageous Commitment, based on Joshua 24:14. It divided people into 3 groups: People committed to church, people that know about church, and people that are careless about the church. Under all that was said, I would probably be a person that know about the church. The preacher said don't get comfortable in the chair, but I am. I know I'm not going to be a saint. And I don't feel comfortable preaching the bible, like rabid Preacher Man from last month. I don't feel it's my place to tell others what to believe. I'm more of a person that tries to do works instead of preaching.
I don't know if I'll attend on a regular basis. I don't mind the songs, except when I want to sing, but when I sing, I yawn. Still haven't figured that out. I guess that's why I enjoy Welsey each Monday. The sermon is something powerful, and I don't feel guilt. I feel the most enlightened after a Wesley event. However, I wasn't too uncomfortable at Late Church, I might attend it again. It just depends.
I saw one of my high school classmates at Late Church. It was the second time this week I ran into her. I saw her at Wal-Mart the other day. I asked her what was going on at Wal-Mart with the private school having 3 buses of kids there. She happens to work at the private school. We spoke briefly as she was leaving and I was taking a picture of the Savannah Theater. She said the students were they doing their shopping for the school's Christmas Angel gift program. Quite interesting. She doesn't haven't any kids, either. She's busy helping kids. It been a life saver meeting and coming across some of my old high school classmates that don't have any kids and are just having fun in life. Makes me feel better about the person I am.
This past weekend, I have been working on my Client/Server homework. it's still not complete, but I'm learning things from it. That's the most important part of it all, I guess.
