CHURCH OF THE ROCK - Winnipeg, Manitoba
BATMAN: THE DARK NIGHT – AN EASTER STORY
Easter at the Rock can only be described as an extraordinary experience. On Good Friday we do a worshipful and ‘almost’ traditional service centered around the passion of the Christ and His cross. It is beautiful, touching and meaningful. Easter, however, is something all together different. It has always been about celebration and joy… for Christ has risen. But nobody on the planet does it quite like Church of the Rock. We have taken the amazing story of the resurrection and have presented it in modern parable form that can only be described as ‘Hollywood does Easter’. Donning sets, costumes and a home grown script written by ‘yours truly’ we have had some of Hollywood’s finest masquerading as the Christ. In The Wrath of Khan it was Captain Kirk who died and rose again. The next year it was Captain Jack Saviour (Sparrow) in the Pirates of the Galilean. I appeared as the villain Captain Barabbas (Barbossa).
Last year it was Westley from the Princess Bride of Christ. I did a cameo as Miracle Max and if you are watching on television this Easter Sunday you will catch at least a snippet of my performance doing the memorable “he’s only mostly dead” scene. One year I did my best impression of Michael Jackson in Robin of the Hood.
This year we are pulling out all the stops and doing Batman: The Dark Night. The Caped Crusader along with Robin the Boy Wonder will be arriving in the Batmobile. I will be making the requisite cameo, but I am afraid at this writing, that information is top secret.
If you are from out of town and ever wanted to come to a Church of the Rock service, Easter is the one to come to. If you had to drive half way across the country, I guarantee it would still be worth it. We have some immensely talented singers, actors and musicians that bring the resurrection story to life. Last year we had 4,000 people show up for our three services so you have to come early to get a good seat. We made a simple little advertisement. Here it is, have a look and we’ll see you Easter morning.

BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT ISN'T THE MESSAGE OF EASTER, AND THIS CIRCUS OF A CHURCH ISN'T A METHOD OF RESPECT THAT SOMEONE WHO WAS ACTUALLY A CHILD OF GOD WOULD USE TO HONOR THEIR SAVIOR.
ALSO APPARENTLY THEY ARE MISINFORMED REGARDING WHO DIED FOR THEIR SINS: NO FALSE-CHURCH IT WASN'T WESTLEY, KIRK OR JACK SPARROW AND IT CERTAINLY ISN'T BATMAN.
