In the town I live in we have 3 LCMS Churches all with in 3 miles of each other, one the attendance is 18% another 25% and one at 34%. My question is why keep all three open when two maybe even one will do. Two services at the largest one would cover every one. This would cut down cost of building Maintenance and many other costs by combining Church's. Looking at it in a business way your loosing money on all three, instead of making money on just one.
