Apparently, part of the inspiration comes from this guy who was a very popular televangelist in the 80s, until it was discovered that he received his 'words of knowledge' through a secret earpiece speaker.
Hi there all you sofa churchers. It's Mandy Wibberley from North Street church. Sorry I haven't been able to join you all since the birth of sofa church - sorry for me not for you all !!! You all seem to be having a great time both spiritually and socially. I'm a regular visitor to the website though and love it and what you're all doing. With 3 teenage boys and a husband who works shifts, the time is just not there on Thursdays to join you. I have a drum lesson to attend just at the time you meet. Not for me you'll be relieved to hear, but with our 15 year old. I'm also involved with the youth work and Re:Generation in our church. Re:Generation is at the other end of the scale to Sofa Church - loud band praise music, very modern, with a 21st century message. If any of you are interested, Andy can fill you in. He plays guitar with us sometimes. It seems to some that the trend seems to be either one end of the scale or the other i.e Sofa Church or Re:Generation. We had 40 folk with us last time - some of those completely new to church. The middle bit, with the hymns and sermon - well what can I say ? Is it dying out or does it still have it's place, and if it does, for how long and for how many? Well, sorry to go on, just wanted to stay in touch and to say I miss Sofa church. If the drum lessons change I will be with you again. keep up the good work and I will keep on visiting the sight with interest. Let me know what you think about "the middle bit" if you think it's relevent.
The film this week is Leap of Faith; entry on Internet Movie Database is here if you want to know more...
