All About the Bunny

I wasn't sure which blog this belonged on.... because it's kinda stranger than fiction.

Anyway, went to church on Sunday. A new church. Well, new for us. Walked in while they were singing. Two songs, both popular at contemporary Christian services. I'm thinking, "OK. Maybe this church will be a good fit." Then they have offering. And they have each person get up and drop their offering into little urns up front. As people line up, I'm thinking, "This is weird." Then the pastor announces that rather than a sermon, they will be having a "comical" play featuring the church's kids. I'm thinking, "Well... it could be all right. I guess." Then he says the title of the play is "All About the Bunny."

What comes next is 30 minutes of inside jokes and bad Easter bunny humor, plus 4-year-old kids grabbing microphones and screaming into them while half the audience recoils from the unearthly sound and the other, apparently deaf, half laughs hysterically. I'm thinking, "How conspicuous would it be if we sneaked out...?"

Then the pastor wraps it all up with a little Come to Jesus prayer and away we go. I'm thinking, "Hey! What about Jesus? You know, the guy who died and ROSE today? Heard of him? No? Alrighty then."

Egads.
