I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

Snow Day!


Yesterday's weather was brutal. I was surprised at how bad it was when I went out the door at 6.30 to make my way to Patchogue UA for our morning service. Saturday evening's heavy rain had frozen and then it had snowed on top of that and the pretty white stuff was still falling, combined with 50mph winds.

Not expecting too many folks to turn up at all, we opted to have a special snow day service in our Grace Cafe area of he theater complex instead of us all feeling a bit lost in the usual 565 seater Theater 13.

What a shock to have 145 people come for worship on a morning like that. I think some liked the idea of sipping coffee and chewing bagels all morning and while it was a substantially smaller crowd than on a regular Sunday, it made me think that maybe we really are a dangerous church!

For those who missed my final Sunday speaking on Dangerous Church, I'll post some if it here over the next couple of days. But not today - it's my day off!
