When I first entered ministry, I worked at First Presbyterian Church in Michigan. The building they are located at was built in 1929, completed right before the Great Depression.
To pay for the building, the church offered chicken pot pie suppers on Saturday Night in the fellowship hall, and then invited folks to come up to the Sanctuary to watch Movietone News.
After seeing the news, the minister would give a short synopsis of the sermon and invited folks to join them the next morning.
The church thrived during the Great Depression.
And now I am seeing a repeat.
Just read this in the news this morning. How some things do not change. Maybe there is a lesson for the church.
