Tonight I went to the kickoff of the 4th service at Lake Grove Presbyterian Church, they are calling it Down2Earth.

Jennifer and I have high hopes for this service. We met at an awesome evening service in the bay area, Intersections at Sunnyvale Pres. It’s a hard act to live up to, and it’s been one of the big reasons why every few months we consider moving back to the bay area.

Down2Earth started off pretty well, with 4 quick, upbeat songs. I was like “Ya, this rocks, we can stay!!”. Then it went downhill from there… the piano guy started talking a lot, and it got really preachy and serious, close to their morning services.

Yes, while you might say ‘hey, that’s what religion is all about’, it isn’t too me. I, as a moderately young married guy, I am looking for a fun place to worship, with a good message, and not a whole lot of real ‘preachy’ stuff.

I don’t know if that’s not being a real Christian or such, but it’s what I want right now, and what I miss from Sunnyvale. I suppose I’ll get used to it, as much as I consider moving back to the bay area, it’d be a bad financial move for us.

Although I should hope that it will get better, or maybe go and tell them my thoughts, eh?
