Lord help me....
Visited B.C.G for the first time today with my boyfriend, his mother and the two boys that I mentor. We usually frequent another Chesapeake church but felt it was good to switch it up every once in awhile.
The church is located in an office park off of Executive Blvd. We were kindly greeted and offered a pamphlet with the sermon notes and weekly events. Upon entering the sanctuary, the music was great and looked forward to the service.
This is where things started getting interesting....
This weeks services was different from anything I've ever witnessed. There was no physical pastor for the service, instead he was projected onto a big screen. Guess he was at another location and alternates locations? When we realized what was happening my crew was just looking at each other like oh ok this is happening?
During the service, the pastor started blasting the word Sex. "The world idols money and sex" "I like having sex with my wife" SEX, SEX, SEX! I get it, were all adults here....but actually we weren't. The boys are 12 and 11 years old. The twelve year old had the talk already about the Birds and the Bees but the eleven year old hadn't. Guess that's going to make for an interesting talk when he gets home....
Next, after moving on from that awkward rant, the screen goes completely blank and silence. Bad connection? Didn't pay the internet bill? So to fill time a guy jumps on stage and starts rambling to fill time and ends with a prayer. I couldn't even take him seriously even though he was a super nice guy. To top it off he forgot a slide and even joked about needing a new job.
Needless to say I love me some Jesus but most likely will not be returning here... read more
