Can't buy me Love... er. maybe
Thinking out of the box for the sake of "the touch"

Let's get corporate sponsorship for our churches. Seriously.
Churches continue to struggle actually having people in their communities live lives of obedience, serving the poor, and loving friends without agendas. Let's get real. People don't really want to come to church. A life lived in faith, hope and love is not enough. They need "the touch." We must use any means neccesary to get people in our building to experience it.
thus Corporate Sponsorships are the answer. They seem to have an endless supply of money. And they are great at sales. So let's sell God, or at least bribe them to get inside our doors to experience "the touch".. because if there is one thing we have learned in our lives...it is this... God cannot be seen, experienced or encountered outside our worship services.
McDonalds is the second largest distributor of Toys in North America, they have baited and switched kids and families for years! Come get a toy, and a meal and you'll be happy!
Come to our church we'll give you toys too! and candy! and the touch! and you'll be happy like us.
Let's just be honest with ourselves. People need us to give them an extra incentive to follow God. Whether it's free dogfood, free money, blackmail via photographed license plates outside shady establishments.

Let's have Viagra sponsor a few of the AG churches, it's sure to put smiles on some faces, and keep everybody up!

Fed-ex can sponser the Catholic Churches who love excorsisms because they deliver quickly and on time inside our building...

Burger King could sponser the Anglican church, because they live under a king, but worship the real king.

IAMS Dogfood(I am's) could sponser the Christian Scientist church as they minister to animals in their congregations. A free doggie bone for the pet at home and other pet neccesities would be great in exchange for attendance.

A Emerging could be sponsered by Starbucks for obvious reasons.

For the small price of a occassional well placed logo we could get money. (and maybe renaming our building.. Say The First Staples Worship Center) Then we can give money, toys, gifts to anyone who might need the help to get in our buildings... for "the touch"... whatever it takes for "the touch" Then they might become infactuated with a feeling and live lives like our relationship with God. they might even be twice the sons of heaven we are.
