Unhinged SBC Megachurch Christmas Service Ft. Dancing Pixar Characters, Real Flying Bed
Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL, led by David Hughes, is the embodiment of instituting worldly entertainment in the pathetic hope of catching the attention of wayward goatlings and luring them into staying.
Known for their extravagant attempts to keep their members entertained, in the past few years they’ve played a cover of Run D.M.C’s sleazy and sexual song Walk this Way in church, performed Kendrick Lamar’s N95, only cleaned up and sanitized for church audiences, removing the curse words and racial epitaphs for a sermon illustration, put on a Willy Wonka Christmas worship service’ put on crazy ‘Baby Shark’ mashup during service, replete with smoke and canons! and put on an Addams family themed service.
During their recently unearthed 2019 Christmas service, they featured a segment between the worship and the message that saw multiple Pixar cartoon characters dancing and gesticulating on stage before a little girl gets into a bed that flies over the crowd, leaving us to wonder what sort of insurance premiums they have.
Hughes previously explained his rationale for putting on wild church servives, using obscene bible twisting as his rationale:
“The church should have a show- every weekend we should have a show. I’ll tell you why. For my super spirituals right now, don’t log off, because Jesus promised and Matthew’s Gospel that anytime two or three or more would gather in his name, he would SHOW.
Welcome to this… I don’t know what to call this anymore. I really don’t. The team does such a great job. Give it up for our creative people, if you would-thank you guys, for making this so much fun.
I guess technically we’d call it a service, it’s a worship service, that’s kind of short for worship service, a service, our Christmas service. But it’s an experience. It’s a Christmas experience. It’s now an event. In fact, I love my friends who don’t do church a lot, the last few years they say, “David, what time are your Christmas shows? What time of your Christmas shows?”
And it used to be I try to reframe that “no, it’s actually a worship..-” Guess what? It’s a show. Yes. Welcome to our Christmas show. And if you’re deeply spiritual that offends you, like we shouldn’t have show. No. We should have a show.“

The church have a SHOW because Jesus promised to SHOW up when 2 or 3 gather in hia name. Brilliant logix of this guy. lol.
It’d be better if they just call it a Christmas show and not pretend its a worship service. Like back before Bethel and Hillsong, back in the before times, some churches had a Chritsmas Pageant and didn’t pretend it was a worship service. But unlike megachurches they actually had worship services. Shows is all megachurches have so they are not even real churches.
