Well, its the 4th of july...so time
For some fireworks !!
First...im not a member, but
Attend.,.i also go to christian
Church the same day.
That as of late caused some to
Question...why is he here ?
I help manage a weekly outreach
Supper...help cook, shopping, wash
Dishes, plan meals...etc...im on
That committee. That same committee and group, i come up
With the idea of a fund raiser for
The community emergency aid
Fund...i come up with, got help
Advertised, and was at the church
At 5 am.
Ive also filled in at the office, and
When the janitor is gone, i try to
Do what needs to be done...at
No cost...yesterday i spent 4 to 5
Hours cleaning bathrooms, moping
Floors, vacuuming, watering the
Outside plants....
No church member has walked forward yet.
This idea was hatch for a special
Celebration months ago...the heads
Of several committee knew, and though good idea, and told to run
With it...but then nobody wants to
Do anything or are ""too busy"" or
""Im retired"".
So, it ""just wasnt me"".
The latest, a committee wants me
To do something, which is their
Job...sure, i can say no, but nobody
Will do anything, because a special
Person in the congregation should
Be honored...and if not, will be hurt.
Yes...i have ideas...ways to serve
The lord...that are done in other
Places....one person told me, they
Were not gods ideas but mine !!!
Is starting a food pantry, open to
All, every month, such a sin ? (Oh
Yes, ive worked out the money side,
Church doesnt need to spend a penny
Only provide a small room, and their
Blessing since it would need to
Be non-profit.
I am also pushing for a dvd bible
Study/life group, for the 30 to 50
Age group....we have kids, we have
70+...nowhere in between...
Personally, im im wanting to use
Programs by max lucado..play
Video, and discuss via leaders
Guide...im not a preacher...not
Claiming to be, but just trying
To help....
The minister ?? They are doing the
Kids, since nobody will teach it.
And lets not let the church organization go unscathed....
First, i brought to the attention to
The district of a computer problem
On their end....the responce...have
Someone else fix the problem.
Then...since we are fast running
Out of minister in our area...and
Few new ones comming out....
The only logical, stop gap thing
To do is make a bunch of mini
Preachers...at least able to do
Pulpit supply...to do this requires
Lay servant class ..then online
Classes...the lay servant class is
Not held often, and can be 100 plus
Miles away, overnight stay, etc.
So...as a way to help foster this
Along, i would help sponsor a
Class or two locally...i contacted
The proper people, and asked for
A list of people who could teach...
Have not received a response yet
And it has been a while.
Ok...so am i a bad boy ?...i am
Trying to help....but if im all
Wrong....maybe i am....and should
Never set foot in the place !!
Now, hows that for a roman candle !
Happy 4th, and bless you
