This question has puzzled many of the great thinkers Plato himself said 'Yes it does go fast but where does it go' Yoda said 'Indeed Fast the van goes.' The answer to this question must be As fast as a van can go.

Clever Church Ideas
I'm a big fan of creche in church. But it has many minor teething problems. For instance if a baby is asleep and then starts crying- what happens? If the mum is there full time then there isn't much point-better to have a soundproof room. Or does the creche person leave the kids and go get the mum?
I saw a clever solution used at my brother's church in the netherlands (attendance of 800 or so). They have a Baby sleep room next to creche area and every child/parent is assigned a number. When the baby starts crying the number is flashed in the bottom corner of the big screen and mum or dad knows to come collect/soothe/feed the baby. Simple little trick that helps parents get more out of the sermon/service.
What little tricks does your church use?

How great is our God- World edition
I'm a sucker for songs i know sung in other people's languages. I love when a show like Les Mis has a anniversary special and they get Jean Valjeans from all over the world to sing a verse from all their languages. I love hearing church songs in other languages. It is a great reminder of how Christianity isn't just my language or country/ethnic group.
This song is one of my favourites. And to hear it sung with Chris Tomlin AND people from all around the world: I find it revitalizes me. It encourages me. And gives that great people of every nation, every tongue worshiping God.
WARNING: Presbyterians there is much hand raising and repeating that happens :-)
