Concerned that the meandering weekend habits of parishioners might someday deliver the Sunday punch to Sunday church services, Dr. W. A. Welsh, pastor of the East Dallas Christian Church, offered a solution in Cleveland last week at the annual assembly of the International Convention of Disciples of Christ (more than 2,000,000 members). His suggestion: hold church Thursday night, with Communion early Monday morning. Said Pastor Welsh: “There is nothing scriptural or essential about scheduling church services at 11 a.m. on Sunday.”
