Tucson is about to lose its only drive-in church.
Drive-in worship is no more in Tucson.

After operating for 45 years, a south-side drive-in church will hold a goodbye
ceremony Sunday. The Park Avenue Christian Church's final service was held last month.

The church opened in 1952 and in 1966 added its unique drive-in Sunday service,
in which the pastor would preach alongside an organist to a congregation in parked
cars with speaker boxes or low-frequency FM radio broadcasts of the sermons, said
Harold Snapp, 82, who chaired the church board.

He said the drive-in option provided an alternative for those who didn't want
to get gussied up to worship.

3. A drive-in church? Sounds a bit silly to me.

Part of what's good about church is the community, the sharing, worshiping with like-minded people. You don't have to get "gussied up" for church. In my church, people's clothing ranges from dressed up to jeans.
