Our church has seen a slight increase in attendance lately... but I'm not so sure it's because of the economy. I think people have been home for the Christmas season. I not so sure that my church is ready for a boat load of people to start pouring through the doors. That's not to say that we don't want that... because we do! But I'm not sure that we have the tools in place to effectively communicate the good news to that many newcomers. It'll be interesting to see how we handle 3,000 people on Christmas Eve.
