McDonald’s at mass? ‘McMass’ pushes to build restaurant in church

How about a Happy Meal with that sermon?

A McDonald's campaign group banking on churchgoers wanting a side of fries with their Word has kicked off a campaign to construct a restaurant inside a place of worship.

The “McMass” group says it’s a win-win for the company and for those of the faith. Its logic: More would attend church if only there was a chance to get a Big Mac during service, the Daily Mail reported.

Paul Di Lucca, a creative director at the church branding agency, Lux Dei design and a leading voice for “McMass,” said it’s high time for Christianity to “capture modern audiences,” the Daily Mail reported. He’s put out a page on the IndieGoGo fundraising site to raise $1 million to build a McDonald's church, the newspaper said.

So far, interest is minimal. The project’s only received about $104, the Daily Mail reported.

As if the problem with the churches is a 'marketing' problem..

These nearly-empty churches are that way for a reason.

When they REPENT and get right with God, and His Spirit begins to move in their hearts, THEN watch what happens...

It won't require any 'Happy Meals'.

Supply and demand at work, way too many churches. People are getting wiser.

Does anyone remember something like this from the bible? Because if my facts are straight Jesus chased market venders out of the church. The church had the 10 holy commitments in it; can't remember the name.
