"I can get you a Kingdom Workers grant for popcorn and Wi-Fi.
Kudu Don Patterson recommends a Lil Rockers group.
We are all about mission."

You can be pretty clever Greg, but what exactly is the point of this post?

GJ - A church youth group will naturally gravitate toward popcorn and movies. Although details are sparse, this seems to be an established church youth group. What has been accomplished? Widows and orphans are robbed to lease an enormous sandbox for a few people to play in. Who, may I ask, will serve in the Rock and Roll band for church services (to stretch the term)? Will Ski convert some I-hate-church prospects and sign them up? Or will they gather rockers from local WELS churches?
As a high school student, I attended a Lutheran church where the youth meetings always ended in Vespers from the hymnal or another similar service. Sunday services were always liturgical. No one imagined doing anything else. I was from a non-liturgical family, and I associated the free-form services with tacky hymns and bland sermons.
The Missional or Emerging Church focus is not new. Revivalists did the same thing. The Rock and Roll version is simply the final belch from the Pepsi Generation. Stop and thank the Boomers for rolling over and playing dead for 20 years.
