I can’t wait to repost this over at the Holy Moly blog… perhaps later in the liturgical season of Soccerates, when attendance drops and we combine two services into one over the summer.
I already sent a link to Father Steve, who really loves the upholstered chairs we have at St Nick’s and performs a kind of meditative dance when he lines them up in new and interesting patterns before services. He may get a kick out of this:
Now that every church is certain that the only path to success is by having a Mega Church, a number of companies have sprung up to meet this new demand. One such company is SCS (Small Churches Suck) who provide specialist furniture specific to Mega Church needs. SCS CEO, Bob Chuckpants states, We at SCS understand that small churches suck and do all we can to provide the successful church with all the furniture they need to be cool and have lots of people attend and stuff.
This is especially funny as I live in a town famous for its influential Mega Church, and on our way back from our pre-Easter Eggses breakfast, we were following a van from said church out on a mysterious mission of its own. They were probably making a Costco run to pick up a huge amount of TP, coffee accessories, and bakery items.
