Church in the future?

There have been many many changes in Churches in the recent years.

Indeed things are changing so much and so fast that what follows is an anonymous person's perspective of how Worship services may be conducted in the not too distant future.

Intended to be a spoof, it may be more real than one would think at first glance.

Opening Convocation

PASTOR: "Praise the Lord!"

CONGREGATION: "Hallelujah!"

Scripture Reading

PASTOR: "Can we please turn on our tablet, PC, iPad, cellphone, and Kindle Bibles to 1 Cor 13:13.

Sermon

Please switch on your Bluetooth to download the sermon. You can log on to the church Wi-fi using the password Lord909887."

Prayer

P-a-u-s-e

"Now, Let us pray, committing this week into God's hands. Open your Apps, BBM, Twitter and Facebook and chat with God."

Offerings

S-i-l-e-n-c-e...

"As we take our Sunday tithes and offering, please have your credit and debit cards ready."

Ushers: Circulate mobile card swipe machines among the worshipers: Those who prefer to make electronic funds transfers are directed to computers and laptops at the rear of the church. Those who prefer to use iPads flip them open.

Those who prefer telephone banking, take out your cellphones to transfer your contributions to the church account.

(The holy atmosphere of the Church becomes truly electrified as ALL the cellphones, iPads, PCs, and laptops beep and flicker.)

Final Blessing and Closing Announcements.

- Thursday's Bible study will be held live on Skype at 1900hrs GMT.
