My uncle invited myself and others to her church while I visited her for a quick weekend trip. Though I don’t frequent churches & it had been quite a while, I obliged because I didn’t want to be rude & reject my aunt’s request. I woke up that Monday morning, got dressed, & off to church I went for the 11:00 AM service, and while I walked through the aisle of the church trying to locate a place to sit, I observed a few older ladies using hand-held church fans. This church had a central air conditioner unit, so I was a bit surprised to see the ladies using those church fans. The fans were made with wooden handles with thick stock paper stapled to them. The image on the stock paper showcased the name of the church and a picture of the church building, seeing this made myself and others smile because church fans were used more than 2 years ago to supply some relief to church goers during the overheated Summer weeks prior to the nights when air conditioning systems were readily available to the general public. Today, most churches have a cooling system installed, some have Heating, Ventilation & A/C units while others rely on smaller window air conditioning systems, perhaps some use industrial-sized fans. But it is amazing that the hand-held church fan, an old invention, is still being used this month in church buildings that have air conditioner technology. As mentioned, the ladies were older, so they became actemperatured to using these fans, & therefore, the church fans became section of their church experience. I saw the fans as a fantastic way to advertise the church as they could be used to recruit modern members. Turns out, this was in fact another purpose of these church fans to supply advertisement for multiple businesses. Perhaps, I should have requested a few of those hand- held fans for my friends & family to promote & advertise my aunt’s church.
