I agree with what @Jacqueline Hyde said above, regarding the church being somewhat of a social aspect. My mother attended church for that reason as well.
@Morgan coming from a town of 700 people, the church was THE social force in my parents' life. especially as my mom worked there so didn't even have a group of outside work friends like my dad did.
Really, @Lucy?!?! I could ask that or start asking myself, 'Where in The World is Lee Jordan?' or 'Where in The World are Zack and Ivy?' I mean no one knows where everybody us at.
