Location: Long Island, New York, United States

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.

THANKS SPIDEY

We got to share our theater with Spiderman this morning - he had four screens and we had three! I can't for the life of me figure out why people would be going to the movies before 9.00 on a Sunday morning, but then again there are a number of things in this world that I have yet to be able to get my brain around.

Here were whole families with buckets of popcorn and giant sodas heading off to see the latest of this comic book hero's adventures while for most weekenders it wasn't even breakfast-time.

We had to be a little flexible while sharing the building with the general public, but it didn't cause us any major problem and above all, it gave a whole new group of people an insight into what goes on at Patchogue UA on Sundays.

Maybe next time they feel the need to get up and get out early, they'll come back and visit us for church! Who knows?

At least now they know we're there - thanks to Spiderman!
