I know what you meant by that-- but it just struck me as funny the way it was worded I guess.
Our church is wide open to what God wants every time we are there. Visitors never know what to expect-- and I haven't heard of us scaring anyone so badly that they didn't come back.
I can't remember if I mentioned it or not-- but our pastor recently appointed someone to fill the position of youth pastor. The first "youth service" there were about 40 in attendance-- and three first time visitors received the holy ghost. (Those same three haven't missed a service since that time) On the second week in the youth service... there were 80 in attendance. Some received the holy ghost that night also.
I'm looking forward to the next youth service. I'm not what you'd consider "youth" anymore since I'll be turning 40 this year... but I get such a blessing out of seeing what God is doing in those services that I don't want to miss the service myself! I think the youth pastor likes when some of the "older" bunch shows up for support.
