Where do you live? You sound like you have a well run congregation!
Can I go where you are?
Go bags - a necessity in this day and age.
Elders know you when service time is required if you forget to call/text/email it in. However, since congregations have been designated to combine with other congregations, the halls that we were always told to run to if crisis arises, are being sold off. The grand new huge buildings in the US were also mentioned to run to, really? I live in Canada, I am sure that when turmoil/crisis/natural or otherwise happens, I and all others will not be hiking it to the US or Ontario to get protection. Majority of most congregations are seniors now since those now living will never die- but wait, that was back in the 30's. That promise is long gone and now, how can they move, how can they run..... food for thought.
I hope you are well in body and spirit cause you will be the first in line to help those in need with that attitude. Keep it up!
