This is too much fun to pass up. Don M. came in to tell me about a city ordinance back in his small home town in Illinois. The ordinance said that there could not be more bars than there were churches. So when one of the smaller store front churches was in financial troubles they would go over to the bars and pass the hat. Because if the church closed, one of the bars would be closing.
That’s got to be the most interesting stewardship or church growth strategy I have ever heard! If someone in that town wanted to open a bar, they would also have to start a church to keep the numbers equal?
