Featured Church Super-Bowl Parties

Our 'team' lost over and over at the arenas and stadiums in the early centuries. Can't imagine what those martyrs would think of today's churches voluntarily embracing such a trashy spectacle.

 

Youth is having a Souper Bowl, with people bringing in canned goods for the food pantry.

 

Church I'm planning to join on Sunday will have Super Bowl parties; but will also have an evening service for those that don't watch the game.

 

We don't do one large, all church event for logistics reasons.

However, our singles and youth ministries have separate parties. Most of our young families end up doing things at various homes. Our singles ministry party is a really well done event. Lots of food, games, and time to hang out and talk.

We used to do a men's event for the Super Bowl that included a BBQ, lots of tables, and a half time video. Went well for several years and then we moved to another way of doing this as part of a ministry reshuffling.

I don't have problems with them and actually think its a smart way to leverage a social event to gain community momentum for a church.

As long as we wind all of this up by Ash Wednesday and get some sackcloth and ashes, everything will be O.K.

When did Church become a place for entertainment of the flesh? There is no way to give glory to God in our flesh. It took Israel about 40 days to get back to their golden calf even after seeing the mighty hand of God many times. There ought to be a repentance reminder somewhere around here.
Whatever happened to striving for holy living, 24-7?

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Sorry; I should have added that the Super Bowl parties have agreed that during half-time, they'll be turning off the TV and having a 30-minute devotion.

Another idea: we could have baptism services at a gay beach. We could hand out tracts and Bibles to the curious. Would any of this activity constitute: "casting pearls before swine?"

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

This certainly will be a remarkable week of glorying in the flesh. There are two high holy flesh days in less than 4 days: Superbowl and Mardi Gras.

We are conformed to the world folks--the Bible says were not to be conformed to the world, but rather transformed by the renewing of the mind...see Romans 12:2.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

As excited? There is no equivalency there at all.

I have never been a fan of football or other major American sports. Life is composed of individual 24 hor units and I don't want to waste them on that stuff. Not that I am perfect in that regard concerning other things that may waste my time --but those sports don't even register on my radar.

 

Denver Broncos' fans are usually shameless. .J/K

But, you'll need lots of towels to dry your tears after Carolina trounces your Broncos' 34-13.

I'm a Raiders' fan by the way.

 

Back to topic, our church doesn't have a SB party, but I'd be all for it.

 

Rppon, I'm like you. To me, the super bowl is much ado about nothing. Our National Anthem is usually butchered by some singer that doesn't even understand the meaning of the words..., half-time shows are hip-hop travesties..., and otherwise, this appeal for the game is the result of cleverly designed Madison Avenue Ad Men at their finest. Too many spectators are guzzling beer followed with foul mouthed commentary in the hope of attracting attention to themselves from all in their immediate area.

I'd rather take a nap.
