Buckhead Church & a Brazilian brunch ! :)

What an awesome start to a Sunday! Thanks to Adria and Shafi, we visited a Church in the morning to attend a (Palm Sunday) Service. It was amazing. Buckhead Church is not quite like a traditional church. No idols at all. The architecture of the building is more like a Software Company. It has a huge auditorium with 6k+ seating capacity, pool tables, kids' games, discussion rooms and separate auditoriums according to age groups.
I was amazed to find out that they have adapted so well to the 21st century culture. It's more about giving knowledge in a way that can be easily understood and assimilated by the current generation.
If you look at it in a more elaborate manner, there is a great deal of unconventional effort to be extremely flexible about how one can share the message of God. After all, the Message is important! ...regardless of the way it's been delivered. I liked that !
So, we had a "rock band" opening the Service. It was hilarious. A perfect way to energise everybody.
I had never seen something like that in my life! I had the perception of a church as being a peaceful, sacred place of worship. But today, that has changed. It's modern, but its just beautiful. Not just the Music.. but the lyrics played an important part, too.
Some of the lines from the (kinda rock) song are...and i quote >>
"show your light. let the whole world see." and so on ... it was great !

Later, we went to a Brazilian Cafeteria to have breakfast. I loved the cheese balls and the Brazilian Coffee. We couldn't have asked for a better place. It was just too good :-D
