Dying In The Service


            Are your worship services killing your church attendance? I hope not to this extent:
            An old story tells of a Sunday morning when a preacher noticed a little boy named, Alex, staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church building. The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the preacher walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex."
            "Good morning," replied Alex, focused on the plaque. "Dr. Simpson, what is this?" the young lad asked.
            "Well son, these are all the men who have died in the Service," replied the preacher.
            Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Alex’ voice barely broke the silence when he asked quietly, "Which one, the 9:00 or the 10:30 service?"
