Last time I attended a service all I could think was, "How would you explain that you spent $250,000 on the sound system?"
Took my step-son to that same church to witness me voting, trying to set an example. It was like a mini-mall in there.
Sarcastic child: "Dude! Do they have a Starbucks too?!"
- ... I think they usually do have a coffee shop.
  
  i'm a church musician lately and the one i play at puts a pot of regular and a pot of decaf on. what they have isn't bad for drip coffee, but that's where they are.
  and most of us in the band are of the "coffee? COFFEeE!!" persuasion so they really don't even need good drip coffee, but eventually we'd start bringing our own grounds and it'd become a thing.
  part of me wants to find one with a coffee shop now, but i really dislike those services.
  
  I think this is the first time I've encountered a church musician on Lemmy. What instrument(s) do you play?
  
  so currently i'm just a bass specialist in english handbells. i also sing, i am not great at bass guitar and i just got my sax out of the attic a few months ago and am still rusty. way back in my school days i worked my way through the district's set of instruments and taught myself how to play everything they had except the double reeds. not necessarily well, but enough that if i wanted to get competent it would only take a couple weeks.
- Around a decade ago I went to church with my parents. They don't go to a mega church but it is a large church in a Texas suburb. My mom offered to buy me a cup of coffee. I thought she was making that silly joke about "buying" me a cup because, it's a church, coffee is free right? No. She actually paid money for coffee at church. And it was a goddamned k-cup.
