Each Sunday we worship at two different church services…two VERY different church services. In the morning we go to Nueva Vida in Queens and in the evening we go to Redeemer in Manhattan.
Nueva Vida is a Spanish only service. Most of the participants are Columbian emigrants. It is a protestant service that is very charismatic. The preachers are a husband and wife preaching team. The 3 hour 30 minute service consists of one hour of amplified rock music, one hour of prayer, 30 minutes of music and one hour of preaching. Church starts at about 11:00am and ends on or after 2:30pm.
Redeemer (PCA) is an English only service. Most of the participants are young, white professionals. It is a protestant service that is Presbyterian. The preacher is a young, white, male. The 1 hour 15 minute service consists of 30 minutes of jazz music, 15 minutes of prayer, and 30 minutes of preaching. Church starts at exactly 5:00pm and ends at exactly 6:15pm.
Here is a one minute video from each of the two churches. Each video is shot during worship time. You compare the two and see what you think -

Great comparison, Pettengills.
hmm, the first group looks like they meant what they were singing. the second group wasn't that believable. :-)
I resemble that comment...
