You're right, most of the churches that do that here or Assembly of God. There's one nondenominational that's like that and that's the biggest church of them all here. I mean serious mega church. I went there to vote one time and man oh man. I had to have serious guidance to get even to the polling place.

Actually, I was told, and it's true, that it used to be a mall so that's how it is.

> Yeah I've heard of those places. Some of the Assembly of God churches is crazy like that. Whatever makes a millennial happy I guess but my question is in the end are these people showing up for the right reasons and are they really getting the message so that they live their lives for the Lord rather than for selfish reasons? Some days I wonder if they go out there for a date hook up, A job connection, or some Starbucks Joe. Seems like there are too many fickle people that just leave church, family, or friends for selfish reasons these days. There always good reasons to leave like abuse and such, but if you don't like the music that's playing or you don't like how somebody makes the coffee at church doesn't mean you want to walk out and find another church. It just means you need to be more participatory and make the coffee yourself some times. I know people that aren't disable that just left the church because they didn't like the fact that a congregation didn't have a certain type of program for their kids. If your kids would enjoy children's choir and your church doesn't have it, then tell the congregation and help make that happen! We've been talking about generations changing and this is just something that bugs me about our culture.

I was just saying the whole church experience at Rockford first is a full blown rock party. Stage lighting, like perfect music, the whole 9 yards in fact, if you didn't know better, you wouldn't realize it was a band. They are not perfect
