Praying you have the words to speak and your pastor is receptive and concerned.
Excellent idea, brother!I also suggested some kind of training video, rather than a class, but a video that all volunteers would have to watch prior to being used for any task.
The car thief was apprehended, according to what Ron said in his final sentence.And that the car thief is apprehended by the Lord.
The meeting with the pastor went well. He agreed that the visitors should not have been allowed to speak at the luncheon. He later met with the organizer who also agreed and said that he had just dropped the ball on that. As for them working at the pantry, they are still there although not displaying any emblems, etc. and they do not interact with the patrons. There is an issue, well, question, about how to handle that. Since the pantry is in association with some other groups in the purchasing of food there are some government regulations about who can and cannot participate. The pantry is on church property but in order to participate in the food acquisition, they must abide by the regulations. Basically, can we pick and choose who we want to work in the pantry? So, that's ongoing. Yeah, get the government involved if you want to make things more difficult and complicated for everyone.Anything new re the pantry, volunteers, etc.?
These are issues churches aren't equipped to handle. What if my church has a job opening and a trans antifa person applies?Since the pantry is in association with some other groups in the purchasing of food there are some government regulations about who can and cannot participate.
