WINNIPEG, MB
With just seconds to go in the service, Pastor Karl really laid home a particularly profound point about atonement that really got everyone fired up and eventually sent the sermon into double overtime.
“I thought it was all over,” said attendee Allison Neufeld, who had a front row seat at the Fort Gary EMBGC service. “Pastor Karl kept fanning on his shots, but then, with just 1.6 seconds left, he finally got one past Mr. Wiebe and we were heading for overtime.”
The sermon went on for several more hours after that, which had folks on the edge of their seats to see if the pastor would end it all on a high note.
“That was the most exciting sermon I’ve ever attended,” said Neufeld. “You know, it all goes to show, never give up on Pastor Karl. Just when you think this is going nowhere and his exegesis of Romans 5 is all wrong, he really does not disappoint in the end.”
The service reportedly set the record for longest in EMBGC history and had the ladies in the kitchen scrambling to reheat the schnetje for faspa.
“Everything was thrown completely off schedule,” said Neufeld. “It went on so long I missed the Jets game. So, anyway, whatever happened with that?”
