Article: SUNDAY SERVICE - GR33NIX

Sunday service started late on a rainy day, not that the members came late to church but they were just sitting hoping the service would pass by in a flash, some were hoping it would pass in a millisecond but the optimists of the church were at the back trying to fix things up for the short time they were going to have in the presence of God, this was so because the devotional book they had for Sunday school had ran out of chapters. While everyone were going about their maybe-profitable businesses, the workers' meeting started with a worker announcing to workers to come together for a brief meeting. Those that were not workers were busy with their mobiles, some were in another journey with a gadget giving them directions from another realm, some were wishing that they had not come, rather having a good time in a castle built on air. As it was about time for praise and worship, everyone were already switched to their just-get-it-over-with mood. Some of the choristers were singing to show they were better while some were singing for singing sake. The worship ended with a popular song which goes thus, "....the Lord reigneth, let the earth tremble..." It ended with the lead-singer running scales that were trying to go in line with the session.

The optimists finally came up with something that could help the absence of the devotional book. One of them came out as the speaker, talking on what caught the attention of the church, the optimists had thought this through. The talked about "Sexual Relationship". They started with definitions and concluded with a just-accept-it definition. The members asked questions that were actually their challenges in that facet of life, answers were flowing out as questions were coming in. Some members of the church, who hold the corner mostly every Sunday did not show interest in the on-going interaction, rather, they were whispering to those they had not seen in a long time (to them, it is like a century but it was just a couple of months). Engrossed in their acts, they switched to oral speaking. This almost caused distraction to those sitting around them but thanks to the very interesting talk by one of the optimists. Fortunately and unfortunately, the speaker pointed at one of the whisperers, asking him an imperative question. He muttered words and spoke at a lower tone, the speaker knew he was not concentrating. Anyway, the speaker rounded up using the whisperer as an example in a scenario imaging a male who fell into a ditch lusting after the opposite sex. The service continued with the usual collections of offerings and some times tithe, testimony time, welcoming of first-timers, announcements, benediction then workers' meeting. At the end, almost everyone enjoyed the service but the pessimists could not wait to leave, they could not wait a millisecond more. This is the teenagers' church, the church of the young adults generally called the teens' church. Sunday service is like a waste of hours to most them but yet they come every Sunday even when not forced, reason is best known to them. 

Anticipate the next edition, it might cause your eyes to be watery, be positive.
