 ran 1 image thru photomatix
ran that image lightly thru topaz a few times to add some pop but try not to overdo.
levels, curves, b/w by gradient map

the title is a play on the fact that the church is advertising it's convenient features to attract participants.

Very interesting what you've done with this photo. Even the name as I feel it fits and is the way most folks view their churches nowdays; a place to go and conveniently been seen doing what they are supposed to do; not necessarily a place of worship....sad. Back to the photo, I love the processing; too bad that due to basic editing the lamp post couldn't be removed other than that a wonderful photo.

Nice idea though I'm not a fan of the overprocessed looking sky or the vignette/shadow at the corners.

bit rude to tag it as a convenience store.
