This isn’t usually a subject of mine, however lately, I visited a big church on the West Coast. The pastor requested me to come back and even invited me backstage to talk earlier than the service. So, that Sunday morning, I got here slightly early and went backstage. Nonetheless, the church safety workforce wasn’t having any of that nonsense.
Critical About Church Safety
Clearly, church buildings, small and enormous, take care of the occasional over-enthusiastic customer and typically outright nuts. So I discussed that I used to be mates with the pastor, however that didn’t work both. He informed me the pastor was making ready for the service and couldn’t be disturbed.
I advised he ask the pastor (for the reason that pastor invited me), however he refused to hassle him.
So, I walked again out to attend the service. There was an open seat on the second row, so I took it. The worship service had already began, however earlier than lengthy, the identical safety man informed me I’d have to maneuver again as a result of the pastor had visitors coming (in all probability me, huh?).
So, I moved again just a few rows. Then, a few songs later, the safety man requested me to maneuver once more as a result of the pastor’s household wanted seats.
I child you not: at that time within the service, by the point I discovered a seat it was on the again row of the sanctuary.
After all, after the service, I used to be barred from coming backstage, so I went dwelling. The subsequent day, the pastor known as, upset that I hadn’t come to the service!
“Well bless their hearts.”
