(Don't) honk if you love the sermon
I really enjoyed a story from Christian Science Monitor that focused on a Marietta, Georgia church that offers a drive-in worship service. I can't tell you how many times we've been encumbered with some sort of social/medical/community emergency or other situation on a Sabbath morning and would have "stopped in" at a a Seventh-day Adventist Church service if we weren't wearing grubby clothes.
In fact, I think I'd like the idea of a "drop-in" church even more than a drive-in church. Driving up to the church and listening to a sermon is fine, but I'd really miss having a song service. Still, if Pastor Hopkins is getting several people to come to church each week and sit in their cars while he gives a sermon, he's meeting a need that no one else is meeting. Kudos to him for being willing to meet people where they are in our fast-paced world.
