Church Attendance and The Super Bowl

There was a report on the local news that said church attendance is lower than usual on Super Bowl Sunday and how Crossroads Church in Cincinnati turned their service into a football-themed service.

 

Am I the only one that wonders how low attendance and the Super Bowl are related?

Yeah... even on the West Coast the game didn't start until 3:30. I don't get that either.

Went To 10:15 Mass and was the Lector , had a full house then .

They weren't referring to the Sunday evening service? If not them I'm guessing they just wanted to make an event out of it, use it as a marketing tool if you will.

Standing room only at 11:00 AM Mass where I went.

Normal crowd for me as well.

I can't speak for the others that missed church but I go to church semi regularly but every Super Bowl weekend my best friends from college get together for the weekend so I wasn't there yesterday. I also have many other church going friends who were away from their homes/churches this weekend for the Super Bowl also.

Southeast Christian has 3 levels and the third level was needed.

St. Serta the Sheets was well represented

What is a football-themed service? Can the congregation yell as loud as need be to distract the preacher? Three timeouts per half? Hopefully no high ankle sprains to worry about.

Is there a prayer clock?

Here's a sample from last year. Part of the rules are that the preachers have to incorporate a random phrase into their sermon. They are given the phrase just as they are starting so it has to be on-the-fly.

Wow. That is unique. I guess being Catholic it is hard to imagine a huge deviation from what normally occurs during mass. Long snapping bread during communion does not take place. I did find it ironic both guys preaching were wearing a Vick and Big Ben jersey. The Big Ben jersey did not have his name.

My Sunday's are not for the N.F.L. They are for G.O.D.!

Nice, but you forgot Saturdays until Fridays. Sundays are for assembly worships, but we can worship God everyday.
