Our church attendance was noticeably down today as it always is on the Sunday between Christmas and New Year each year. Why is this? Granted some people may be away visiting family who live in other parts of the country but then this should be offset by those returning to the area to visit family. Even in the summer when families are away on holiday the attendance is never as low as it is on this Sunday. Every year I keep meaning to ask people where they were but by the following Sunday I have forgotten. I don't see them going to another church and I can't see them just sitting in the house either. Is this a local thing or do other pastors/elders find the same thing?
