guess not. Not a thing I foresee them doing; various congregants have visited here at the house throughout 20 years but not one for religious purposes. He had a friend for the last 5 years, Friend moved away in '18 and maybe 1x yearly visits the congregation and then visits the house. Office Lady suggesting online courses is typical.
The part about folks not wanting to come anymore since he is such a regular pillar re attendance is something to for them to consider seriously, truly. Another Office Lady said once, "It's a place of worship and also a business," well that's true as it gets. I'm fairly sure they do not receive government funding.
Spouse loves this place and when another weekly event got dismissed 2 months back after 7 years' standing to make the weeklies 2x rather than 3x, he was disappointed. Now if it goes to Main Worship Day attendance only, he'll require a period of adjustment but not as much as if he's banned from attending altogether. I am worried about his spiraling into depression.
