Background
Besides Sunday services the church runs a Sunday school, a help line, marriage retreats, outings and a thrift shop. Low collections have twice let Mr. Burns buy the church. In Bart Sells His Soul, Bart swaps its opening hymn for In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, and Lovejoy makes him clean the organ pipes. Its stained-glass windows have been destroyed and replaced more than once.
