Your candle approach reminded me that when my own church years ago launched a Boy Scout troop, the boys set up camp at the main entrances to the church and, over camp stoves, were cooking bacon as people entered and exited the church. It was impossible to miss! Great idea Cheri!

When our youth had a candle sale, I would often light one in the foyer especially on high traffic days like when the Ladies Bible Study group would meet. When someone would comment that it smelled good it was easy to say, "That's one of the candles the youth are selling." But making it smell like "home" to set the stage for a great meeting... that's awesome! What a great thing to consider!

This method has been appreciated by our congregation because it gives new people a look into the operations of the church.
