You know the story - you have a really good workshop making Christingles (or preparing a play, or ...) with the children but come the big day turnout is poor because the parents don't/won't bring the children on Sunday.
So - one local church shifted its Christingle to the end of the school day. The children were ferried, with the school's kind co-operation, down to church for a super service, and the parents had to come and ransom them back from church... No, I made that last bit up, but obviously it made it much easier for the parents to come and join in, - and they did.
Just another aspect of changing the mindset from in-drag to out-reach. Put things on at times and places that work for those you hope will be there. It makes sense.
