NEWS COMICS: (Austin, TX) – Pastor Hank Johnson of Redeeming Grace Church is not your average man of the cloth. While most pastors keep their dance moves locked away, Pastor Hank decided to bust a move to a new hip-hop song during a Sunday sermon. This caused quite the stir among the congregation and the community at large.
“He was up there grooving like he was at a frat party,” said longtime member Mary Johnson. “I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
The song in question was “My Type” by Saweetie, a hit that’s been blazing up the airwaves for weeks. Pastor Hank started off by bobbing his head to the beat, but before long he was on his feet, busting out moves that looked like they came straight out of a music video.
At first, the congregation was stunned into silence. Then one brave soul started clapping along, and before long the whole church was on its feet, cheering the pastor on.
“It was like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” said local resident Tom Johnson. “I thought this was supposed to be a solemn occasion, but Pastor Hank made it a party.”
Of course, not everyone was thrilled about the pastor’s dancing antics. Some members of the community were decidedly less enthusiastic about the whole thing.
“A pastor has no business acting like that,” said local resident Karen Smith. “What kind of message does that send to our children?”
But Pastor Hank was unrepentant. “I’m sorry if some people were offended by my dancing,” he said after the sermon. “But I believe that God wants us to enjoy ourselves and have fun, and that’s what I was doing up there.”
Despite the controversy, it seems that Pastor Hank’s new moves have gained him some new fans. Attendance at Redeeming Grace Church has shot up in the wake of the viral video of his sermon. People from all over the country are now traveling to Austin just to see the pastor dance.
“I never thought a pastor could be so cool,” said one teenager who traveled all the way from California to see Pastor Hank in action. “He’s like a celebrity or something.”
What’s next for Pastor Hank? He’s not saying, but rumors abound that he’s been practicing his moonwalk in preparation for his next big sermon. Whatever he does, one thing is for sure: Redeeming Grace Church will never be the same again.
