Rules, Laws, and Ratios
How many visitors do we need to grow? Jenny asked to no one in particular, as she slid into an overstuffed chair in the Petersons living room for the churchs quarterly leadership gathering.
Well, technically, just one, Mike responded while balancing his steaming cup of coffee.
But according to our attendance records, last year we had over seventy visitors... and our worship attendance is down. So it seems like even seventy isnt enough.
I guess it depends on how many of them stay, Andy remarked as he joined the conversation.
And how many of our own members stop coming, Sylvia commented with an edge of disgust in her voice.
Since were pondering imponderable questions, Ive got one, Andy said. Im trying to figure out how many workers were going to need this fall in the nursery. Any suggestions?
