Joyful Fellowship Friday Night Youth Service
It's been a while since I saw Sister Mary Clarence (Whoopi Goldberg) put on a Class ACT amognst all the sisters. But humorously enough, in youth group half way across the world the film 'Sister Act' was shown at the friday night service and was later discussed in small groups.
Some of the highlighted discussion points addressed the relevance of church ministry, worship, and outreach. With the students identifying this the critical responses that Sister Mary Clarence for her unconventional methods and free spirited approach with matters traditionally treated with a more conservative touch. Hymns to Gospel, high fences torn down and colorful murals painted on walls, relationships built with youth using laughter and dance and building community by dwelling amosngt the residents rather than being seperated/ set apart from the people whom they are called to be beacons of light and service.
So simply we asked, do you think that church is boring and for the super religious? And we talked about being relevant yet maintaining a lifestyle of holiness in our words, entertainment, and sexuality.
