As history has progressed, the Christian church has used various schemes to get people to go to church. Damnation. Cured ailments. Trendy praise bands. Free Wi-Fi and a coffee bar.
One church in Ohio, however, is cutting straight to the chase. For the second year in a row, Lindenwald Baptist Church will hand out $1,000 in hopes of boosting its Easter service attendance.
According to an article on UPI.com, the congregation plans to randomly draw the names of both a congregation member and a guest and award them $500 each.
