Go leave church part way through a service to get take out coffee? That is what one woman regularly does in our church!

 

[Beloved Pure]

I would only leave if what the preacher was saying was in opposition to God and Scripture otherwise I would stay put.

Unbelievable isn't it. Well it just doesn't happen in Catholic Churches anyway.

Perhaps God is calling her to minister to someone in the coffee shop at a certain time each week.

The church should encourage a quiet room with plenty of churn and turnover.
People should come and go constantly and to keep the room quiet.
If you don't let people out, then you're not letting them in either.

This is an issue for the Elders to address.

Indeed.

Without being unkind... if someone is more concerned with coffee than their Creator, something is amiss.

What do you mean "take out coffee"? Like drives down the street?

Maybe she only attends because of someone else.

I knew a guy that use to do that. After the hymns he would leave during the sermon and walk down to Tim Horton's and grab a coffee.

There is a coffee shop a couple of doors down from the church

Weird. No, well I wouldn't cos I don't like coffee. Don't you have communion? Usually there is coffee and tea after the service. How long is your service?

 

[Swan7]

There could be a ton of reasons why she's doing that. There's no way one can know unless someone musters up courage to just simply ask her "why?" Perhaps it's God's way of saying to go and see what's going on with her, or maybe she is to minister to someone specific. Why are we so afraid to go up to someone we don't know and greet them and ask them why the coffee???

No, I wouldn't do that. Not even at a church I was preaching at.

Okay, you will judge this womans walk with the Lord.... yet you do not share the same concern on the OP and their lack of attention to the sermon and more attention on what this other woman is doing?

No one knows what this woman is doing, what she puts first and it is not up to us to judge her blindly simply cause.......... she got coffee.

Yet, no one has said anything to the OP about why they are more concerned with this random woman and not the sermon.
