Despite the addition of a laser light show and a rock ‘n’ roll praise band, Jehosaphat Baptist Church just couldn’t seem to increase their attendance.

try dropping the connotation to “School” from the sign board, it is not very seeker friendly!

Maybe if they had the lunch catered and had it upstairs rather than downstairs???

Is that a church or an outhouse?
Lunch downstairs?

The solution is obvious: Just ring the bell on top!!
Nobody can seem to resist a bell.

Change the name of the church to “The Shack” and you’ll pack ‘em in.

You just can’t please some folks. Maybe if they cut a moon shaped window in the door and added a vent on the roof, more would attend.

Have they thought about a rocking chair for the front porch? How about advertising a “corn-cob” Sunday?!

First of all, using the name Jehosaphat probably threw many people off because they are not familiar with “Bible” names…being they aren’t in their Bibles any longer…
Secondly, using the term “church” is not seeker friendly and creates the atmosphere of “self righteous” or “hypocrites”..
Thirdly, location, location, location…since it’s not next to a Dunkin’ Donuts or Mc Donalds, most of the citizens would not have traveled down the road to this humble place.
And then, not offering “sacred wipe cloths” may have detered many a driver.

I’ve just stumbled on this sad post. Don’t you know you can only ever fill a church three quarters full? If they want to fill it they have to enlarge it first… (Just don’t ask me how they get three quarters of a person in there in the first place…)

It’s not funny!! I’m sure I’ve seen “churches” just like that one at the entrance to various cemeteries here in Australia.
Maybe that church is only hiring the building from the local cemetery trustees for Sundays? For use during the week it wouldn’t have really big crowds. After all, most people at a burial don’t wan’t to end up where they assume the deceased is heading to!
