You don't have to answer that post Stacie,I am leaving this site and church anyway! God bless you and everyone else! I am tired of the constant conflict and little edification this site and church provides.
I understand Collin, as a white person I cannot hope to know what feels like to be African American! But I have thought the same thing was happening. I could see the injustice. As a disabled person, I felt what it's like to face a form of discrimination. I will pray and keep speaking to this injustice! Thx
Excellent post Michele! I too have been basically house bound for 20 yrs with my illnesses. This crisis should be a wake up for people living as if hardship will past them by! Hopefully, they will learn the empathy that you develop from your own experience for others. I also hope they see the Lord is your only stable thing and rejoice in his blessings He gives us in our struggles as I had to learn. Glory be to God!
Our church is doing some of this right now. The deacons each have $100 food gift cards ($2000 total per month) to hand out to whoever they find in need. We have been doing this for years. More is needed to reach out to the community in a way that attracts them to seek the Lord They buy the cards from the local Christian school which in turn makes money for tuition assistance for needy families. Win/win for all envolved. Good post! Thx
Wonderful story, Praise the Lord for giving you the faith to "see" and witness for him in spite of your disabilities! You are a inspiration to all of us! Thank You

It's the Deacons choice, they report to each other in the meetings. My wife is a Deacon!
