The man startled said abruptly, "I’ll tell you I’ve been a Deacon in this church for over 30 years and Chairman of Deacons for 15 years."

He walked in the building and there were about 20 folks inside the church. They had little parking and for years would walk to church to save parking spaces.

The pastor said that noone would think they were having church. So he talked with a friend at a used car lot and asked him to park about ten of his cars on the church lot while also encouraging church members to bring their vehicles. As a result they drew more visitors who said they noticed a lot of cars at the church and came to see what was going on!
