For one of the few times this winter, we had a Sunday morning sans snow today. While my Southern friends have canceled services or snowball warfare breaking out among congregants, we are celebrating our gorgeous 30 degree, bright and sunny Sunday. We are celebrating because snow = much lower attendance. Our church and many churches in the area have had horrible attendance numbers so far in 2009 because of all the snowy Sundays. When it snows on Sunday, elderly members stay home -- as they should. Plus, I get the feeling other people use the snow as an excuse to "take a Sunday off," as if we actually had snow days for church. We don't. Would you have a snow day for work? Unless you work at a school, you don't.
So enjoy your snow days, all you Southern comrades. I'll be thinking of you as I rejoice over our no snow day with a full church.
