They do at my church. And y’all aren’t quite describing them right.
The biggest thing is that a special preacher comes in. Sometimes he’ll come with people who can play music, but usually we church musicians had to play every night.
The main focus is one of two things: getting “right” with God, or getting better at proselytizing. And if you go to a charismatic church, option one will include a lot of those things that people make fun of us for, like speaking it tongues, falling in the Spirit, dancing/laughing in the Spirit. The idea is that it’s like a spiritual refreshing. And it is a great stress reliever for most.
Anyways, at my church, the special preacher will usually arrive on Sunday morning, and may or may not preach that service, but the real revival will start Sunday night, and go at least until Wednesday night. However, if “the Spirit really moves,” this can be extended.
And, yes, while it’s been a while, I’ve seen campaigns like that sign. The whole point is to make you ask. It was viral before viral was popular.
Grrrr… I have NO idea. Her next doctor’s appointment? The combination to her shed?
I liked the fertilizer one. To expand, how about a Lawn Care appointment? I’ve known one that did that in my parent’s development when it was being built. They had a yellow sign with a date stuck in the lawn for planting front and back yard bushes. So the trucks drive around and do the sites by date.
I don’t attend the first baptist church in town but my boss does and we had the same question. That day is HIGH attendence day. He said either the day of or the day before you will see everyone out in an orange shirt with the date on it. They are having a huge barbque with tons of games and everything outside that afternoon after service. hope this helped you if you live around the dexter area.
curse you - now “I Am, I Said” is stuck so hard in my head, my cubicle mate just came over to look at me because evidently i was SINGING IT UNDER MY BREATH.
