A "Spirits" Filled Church

What is this, sell-out week? Here we go again. First United Methodist of Sidney, Ohio wants to reach new people, so they're renting a bar on Sunday nights. They advertise it as having "top regional bands, pizza, wings, rowdy fun & a short message." Here's the story.

On the other hand, Calvary Baptist Church of Bristow, Oklahoma was founded a few years back. They proceeded to buy an out of business bar, eliminate the booze and preach the gospel instead. Somehow, I think it brings God much more glory when churches evangelize and bars go under than when churches operate a bar for a few hours a week so they can insert a "short message."
