See if you can get your church to meet in the park. Even better, if the
park provides seating and sufficient light for reading (which, I guess
would be a prerequisite for holding church services there), your
conditional expression becomes trivial. If the provisions of the C
language are not a good fit to your lifestyle, it is probably simpler to
change your lifestyle than to introduce new keywords into C.

Sorry for indirect quoting, but I missed the OP:

if( day == SATURDAY ) { walk(); we = 1; }
else if( day == SUNDAY ) { attend(); we = 1; }
else { work(); we = 0; }
if( we ) { read(); }
