Or big churches dont work... which is why little churches
proliferate and continue to attract new people. The average person
is probably not going to expect much from a service really... life
as usual. But a new member at a new church is gonna expect
something... new! And what he gets is an effective blessing.
Perhaps large churches can draw from a community bigger then the
attending congregation? The community as a whole.
