[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people who come only on Christmas and Easter are more likely to be turned off by the crowds and the “extra.”  Come see us in Mass on other weeks when we’re in the pews in our regular clothes, kids in sports uniforms, just being ourselves.  I think that would be more appealing - worshiping with ordinary people living similar busy lives yet making time for their faith.[/quote]

Odd that attending services on the Church'es most significant observances would be perceived as a turn off, while other days would not be perceived that way.[/quote]

I agree with the PP.  We go weekly and have friends who join us on Christmas and Easter for the pomp and circumstance and tradition.  The wife is a lapsed church-goer while her husband is a dubious non-Christian.  I never want to push church on them, but wish I could encourage them to try church on a normal Sunday since I think it's a far better reflection of the church's vibe than its two busiest and most ceremonial days of the year.[/quote]
