Attendance is WAY up at my church. Probably because the Gospel is faithfully preached every Sunday. We may be forced to extend our sanctuary to accommodate, and/or start two services.
got to give them a 3 ring circus like the media does if you want an audience. lights, dancing musician gyrations, controversial images of terrifying consequences, smoke and mirrors and make ‘em buy your books to keep you in the black. or so, sadly, it would seem at times. wondering how the churches with small budgets and smaller resources think they can “compete” in the billion-dollar “entertainment business” of which they choose to be a part, even IF they don’t need to. I’ve always read the words: “I came to give life, and that more abundantly” never ever read "I came to give hype, entertainment, and the “feel goods” to the masses" js

All the churches I’ve attended have two meetings, the non-Sunday one is for people who work Sunday mornings.
