It's not a competition but....

...my church is cooler than yours.

OK. I obviously can't know that. But, I think my church out here is pretty neat.

I have been attending Black Hawk Church since I moved out here but I usually drive to the main campus which is on the other side of the city from my apartment. With a list of things I wanted to do today, which included sleeping in, I decided to visit their downtown location this week. A quick 6 miles from my front door.

cell phone quality pics!

The service is held in a old theater just around the corner from L*. As I rounded the corner and recognized the building I remembered the last time I walked past this theater. It was a Saturday night after work and I was surprised to see that the people standing in front of it were not wearing any pants. I later learned that it was hosting a 'No Pants Party' that night.

Interesting place to also hold a church service.

But the greeter at the door was fully clothed so I figured it was safe to go in. I was surprised by the well kept condition of the interior. The floors were clean and the chairs were comfy. It is a small venue, but totally my kind of place.


The welcomer mentioned the information desk in the back and when I turned around to check it out I noticed the full bar and beer pulls behind the counter.


I just had to laugh. What an unlikely place to go to church. But I really liked it. Like Jesus said, it is not the well that need a doctor! I can imagine that in the course of time, some No Pants Party attender heard that the same venue also is host to a Sunday church service and mustered up some courage and curiosity and went to check it out. I like to believe that now he/she attends more Sunday morning events that Saturday night events.
