Along with Easter, Christmas is a time when many Christians who otherwise aren’t regulars at a church return to the pews.
The Rev. Kirk Morledge, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Waunakee, said he doesn’t consider these people visitors — and they frequently don’t, either.
“Many of them regard us as their church, even though they may attend just twice a year,” he said. “And we consider them very much a part of our faith family.”
