Our pastor is preaching through the book of John. Last Sunday his text was John 4. The woman at the well. Some are familiar with the story of her transformation. But looking further we see that God really used her story to impact her entire town. These people saw such an amazing change in this woman they had probably shunned and mocked for years that they had to come and see for themselves. One person. A catalyst for changed lives.
Our church is far from traditional. They've done some pretty crazy things to illustrate sermon points. I think that's a good thing. To illustrate the above point, there was a flash mob dance in church to a lyrics altered version of The Black Eyed Peas song "I've Got a Feeling".
A flash mob is a group of people who get together at a specified place to do something (usually dance) to the surprise of onlookers. One of the most recent ones was during Oprah's season opening show on the streets of Chicago. I don't have the video of the one from our church, but it was the same dance. Picture the dance below in the first 15 or so rows in the church. Fletcher was in church with us and got to see it too.
Note: For those readers who may have little ears nearby, the original song is very catchy, but the lyrics are a little suspect. Our church changed the lyrics for Sunday. Just so you know.
The best quality video is on Oprah's website here. Watch the girl in the audience in the very front and center. But if you don't feel like clicking over, here's a taped version.
