Church-going football fans in Milwaukee are facing a tough quandary this Superbowl weekend: God or football?

Some churches are trying to make it a little easier on them. So worshippers don't have to choose between two devotions -- God and the Packers -- area churches are canceling their Sunday afternoon and evening services.

First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee and St. Francis Borgia Catholic Church in Cedarburg are among those rescheduling for the Super Bowl, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
