Today I discovered the secret to getting families, especially fathers, to attend church in the morning.
Bacon.
This morning we had a Father's Day breakfast and one of the promised ingredients was bacon. Glorious bacon.
And, unsurprisingly, more families then usual turned up to church.
Personally, it made for a good first Father's Day.
This morning reminded me of something I heard during the week.
If families were challenged to create healthy time margins in their life, would church attendance make the cut?
If, for example, a family sat down and (probably wisely) decided they were to trim 1/3 of their non-school/work activities, would church survive?
As I heard the unfortunate story of a family "cutting back on church" because their family "we're just too busy" I wondered how many families would have church attendance in the bottom third of their priorities...

Bacon is indeed good. Given that more families than usual were expected, did you adjust 'church' itself to cater for them?
