Store-More
A couple of Sundays ago I noticed a huge prefab storage building has been placed at the back of the church. Actually, I didn’t just notice it, it’s impossible not to miss. The building, positioned right outside the kitchen, sits in front of two exit doors. Hopefully there’s never an emergency where EMT’s are trying to get in, or we’re trying to get out. I wonder if the church insurance company has given its blessing for this obstacle course. Safety aside, my wicked side says, ‘Ah-hah! Someone’s laying the ground work to prove we need to build a new church because look, we’ve outgrown the present building.’ OK, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. At one time the elders worried about people joining the church through the front door and then loosing them out the back. Maybe this is just a new method to lock the back door.

Gail;
----Church ownership of property is a distraction. There seems to be no end to the fiddling with the stages, messing with the carpets, tearing down this wall and erecting that one. And as if by nature, in those churches where the leaders fail to serve the congregation because of their busyness in “serving the Lord,” every time the church property is fiddled with just a little the nonserved get suspicious. Not that the suspicion is unwarranted, it is as natural as soda-pop and belches. I just think the pressure would ease somewhat when leaders realize that serving their congregation is an indispensable part of serving the Lord. Then fiddling with the property could be the side-thought.
