Does the event happen the full Friday or after work hours on Friday evening/night? If it’s the full day it goes to show the average church goer is an unemployed individual looking for a financial breakthrough.
Church events are the-club-for-the-holy. As such their leader sets the time to coincide with the same hour the ‘unrighteous’ head to clubs for ‘feasts of the flesh’.
I guess the church is afraid if the time is set any later they may lose sheep to immoral worldly club houses.
