PORN SUNDAY!?!?!?

Can you believe it? Have you ever heard of such a thing? A church having a “Porn Sunday”? Well, we are! On Sunday, November 25, we are going to tackle head on the issue of pornography and its devastating affects on individuals, marriages, families and society as a whole. If you weren’t sure about this, let me clear this up… We are not in favour of pornography.

xxxchurch.jpgWe will be hearing more about a radical ministry to those involved in and affected by the porn industry, called XXXChurch. We will hear from those who recently attended the “All About Sex” show in Toronto, handing out Bibles and holding conversations with those attending.

Join us for this important conversation. Service begins at 10:30am.

  1. Good point, Jill. We have been telling the congregation in advance for several weeks. We will remind the congregation this Sunday again. We have planned this service for a KidsChurch Sunday, so kids up to grade 6 will not be there. We will also let people know at the beginning of the service next week.

    In addition, we have decided not to be specific in our use of language, just in the general terms of sex, pornography. The testimonies will not be specific. Its a tight rope to balance on, to be specific enough to be relevant and clear, without crossing the line and being sensational or having shock value.

    We are hoping that the Spirit will touch the hearts especially of those who know exactly what we are talking about because it is a very real issue for them. And also for parents, to help them protect their kids. Its unsettling but important to know that the average age of first exposure is 11, and it is usually while doing homework.

  2. I think this service is a good idea. It’s about time that our churches look properly at these issues that so many people are affected by IN the church as well as out side the church.
    I am wondering if you recommend that young children come to this service.
    Recently we had a service where the Pastor talked about sexual sin and referred to masturbation, anal sex and other activities that some parents did not want their young children to hear about.
    What is your thought on this?
    How will you teach without it being too explicit for little ones? What age is OK?
