"Eye drops will be provided for all those who watch TV too late on Saturday night. "Steele helmets will be handed out to all those who say, "The roof will fall in if I ever come to church!"

"Blankets will be provided for all those who say, "The church is too cold," and fans for those who say "It’s too hot." "We will have hearing aids for all those who say, "The Priest speaks too softly," and ear plugs for those who say, "The organist plays to loudly."

"Score cards will be available for all those who find it difficult to attend church and prepare the Sunday lunch at the same time. "One section of the church will be devoted to trees and grass for those who like to see God in nature.

"Finally, the church will be decorated with Christmas decorations and Easter flowers for those who have never seen the church without them!"
