Britney Spears responds to altar call Singer, mother reportedly cry, hug during emotional church service -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 10, 2004 9:29 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Pop singer Britney Spears has reportedly attended a church service where she and her mother cried, hugged and responded to an altar call. According to a report in British newspaper the Daily Record, Spears and her mom, Lynne, stopped by the service at the Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, Calif., near Los Angeles, on the way to a photo-shoot. The 22-year-old singer and her mother hugged one another and cried "as they got caught up in the highly charged ceremony," the paper reported. At the end of the sermon delivered by Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer, the church's senior pastor, he asked those who had been moved by the message to come forward. The Daily Record reports Spears and her mother then dried their eyes and walked hand in hand to the front of the church. Christian preachers often ask congregants to come forward if they want to make a public profession of faith in Christ. According to the report, two bodyguards accompanied Spears into the church, which uses the Great Western Forum, former home of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, as its main sanctuary. ''Britney came in very quietly but lots of people spotted her. Some couldn't believe that she was there," the paper quotes one onlooker as saying. ''It was a really powerful, emotional service, and Britney was obviously very touched.'' The report states a television crew was filming the service, and some speculated Spears was merely trying to get publicity. Spears, who has dumped her Southern girl-next-door image in favor of a grungy look, last made headlines when she married a childhood friend in Las Vegas and then had the marriage annulled 55 hours later. After the incident, the singer said she still believes in the sanctity of marriage. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=37047 (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=37047) Prayerfully hopeing this story is true (and not some publicity stunt), and that Britney may have found the Lord and be given a repentant heart. I'm sure it would cost her the fame she has, but if true, it could turn out to be a marvelous witness to millions of youngsters not to mention her own salvation. We should keep Britney in our prayers during this time, and that the seed of truth has fallen on good ground. Grace and Peace!

I considered sharing it with you guys!
Amen Tim - we can only pray it "sticks" and that Ms. Spears may become a different kind of example to our teens and young adults! Title: Re:Britney Spears responds to alter call Post by: 2nd Timothy on February 10, 2004, 12:57:04 PM Yeah, I was little hesitant to post it...even skeptical myself, but after reading through the article, it does sound as though maybe God is trying to do something in her life.
Grace and Peace! Title: Re:Britney Spears responds to alter call Post by: Symphony on February 10, 2004, 08:08:38 PM Thanks for posting that, Tim. It's a wonderful witness. Yes--we must pray for Miss Spears and others like her, too. They easily get caught up in a whirlwind of celebrity. Their chances of escaping are difficult. Thanks for your reminder that we must pray for her and others in similar straits. :) (Britney Spears rearranged spells Presbyterian. ???)

Sometimes 'we' tend to forget that Christ was at ease and welcome at the homes of and with sinners.
