Church Spotlight: Super Bowl parties
There are times when church attendance is hurt by football games.
This Sunday, the biggest game should help pack fans into church.
Several churches in the area will be hosting Super Bowl parties. Some are for kids, some for adults but all are for folks who like to mix their faith and football.
One question: since the parties will be in church, are people required to root for the Saints?
If you're looking for a fun place to watch the game, here are some suggestions:
