Would everyone please take out your cell phones

This morning at Severn River Church we made an announcement to start the message, "would everyone please turn on your cell phones." After years of dealing with people who leave their phones on to ring during the most important part of the message, I made the announcement to leave their phones on. Then I gave them my phone number with the instructions if they had questions during my message they should text message me. At the end of service I fielded three questions from the audience. It was fun. I think we'll be doing that more often.

I submitted a question that wasn't answered. However, usually when we attend the services our phones die because they can't get a signal. So i'll assume that's the issue.

Question was, where'd the video come from?

I can confirm that the phone never received that message. The video came from sermonspice.com. If you want to find it go to http://www.sermonspice.com/holiday/621/valentines
