Bacon and church attendance

Today I discovered the secret to getting families, especially fathers, to attend church in the morning.

Bacon.

This morning we had a Father's Day breakfast and one of the promised ingredients was bacon. Glorious bacon.

And, unsurprisingly, more families then usual turned up to church.

Personally, it made for a good first Father's Day.

This morning reminded me of something I heard during the week.

If families were challenged to create healthy time margins in their life, would church attendance make the cut?
If, for example, a family sat down and (probably wisely) decided they were to trim 1/3 of their non-school/work activities, would church survive?

As I heard the unfortunate story of a family "cutting back on church" because their family "we're just too busy" I wondered how many families would have church attendance in the bottom third of their priorities...
