Porn n Pancakes

Lots of churches have pancake breakfasts. Some churches hold discussions about the harmful effects of pornography. But we are the only church I know of that combines the two on Mother’s Day weekend! Saturday, May 12, 9 - 10:30 a.m., Captain Jay Spalding, minister of the Citadel Corps (church), will flip pancakes with his men’s group and lead a discussion about the damaging effects of porn on young people, marriages, and on the hearts of men, including Christians.

It’s free and open to any men who want to attend. It’s at the Tulsa Area Command, 924 S. Hudson. "What better gift to give the women in your life this Mother's Day weekend than making a pledge as a Christian man to not view pornography?" Capt. Spalding said. He said there would be no pressure to commit to a pledge, it's just an option.

The event is for MEN ONLY, ages 15 and older. Boys 12 and older may attend with a father. In talking to Capt. Spalding, the thing that interested me the most was that he is going to buy magazines that every kid with a little cash can buy and talk about how some of the images, photographs and ads, are pornographic. He’ll also bring a Victoria's Secret catalogue. One of the first questions my son ever asked me about sex was if I thought it was "bad" that he kept "dad’s Victoria magazine" under his bed. 'As long as you tell dad you took it, and you know that real women don’t look like that, I think it’s ok,' I said. Although my son has turned out really well, that could have been the wrong answer. I just wish Captain Spalding had been around to ask then!  Call him to make reservations at 918-851-0263.
