here is a letter my husband e-mailed the youth pastor at the church we have gone to exactly twice ...

D,

 I have a question (or questions) about the youth ministries, that I should have asked you about at lunch yesterday:

 When we picked up our boys from Sunday School (in the H2O room) when church started, we found them playing Halo 2, which we understand has a “Mature” content rating. We try to be cautious with which games we allow them to play but occasionally let them play some “Teen” games although they are technically not teens. I was surprised that there would be any games of this kind of content in the church.

I also was surprised that there were a bunch of kids in the youth room hanging out and playing video games when church had already started.

 I guess my question(s) is: Who monitors what games are at the church and would these be a part Sunday School and SONIC nights?

 Thanks,

So, can anyone explain to me how continuing to try church after church is better than just going back to the beach? 

seriously.  I have non-Christian friends who freak out over games like Halo 2 being played by kids the ages of mine. 

what does that say?

[So, can anyone explain to me how continuing to try church after church is better than just going back to the beach?] I have come to this same place and the only thing I can figure is that God stated that we are not to forsake the gathering... because He desires that we learn a lesson about unconditional love.

Hmm. Would be interested in hearing what the answer to your DH's email was.

I was just reading some reviews on that game. I guess it has to be a preference thing for some people, but for me...YUCK. So glad I have girls .. LOL

I will be praying for you .. that God will bring you to HIS beach during times like this for rest and relaxation.

I'm glad I spoke to you on the phone today Kris, otherwise I would have assumed the game had something to do with angels. I am soooooo out of the 'game' loop. Just give me pregnant girls with prison records. That I can handle. Love Mom XXX P.S. Maybe it is just a test of your families convictions. Hmmmmm
