[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh man, way to build your community…we only want you if you have something to offer.
Very transactional.

Church should be welcome to all. Some people have bandwidth to volunteer, donate money, etc. And some need charity, a helping hand, or just a time & place to connect with God. Seriously, I wouldn’t go to your church either, you are awful. And I’m speaking as someone who volunteers a lot & teaches Sun school, that’s a calling I have - bug if never shame someone for not being able to contribute. [/quote]

Is it not transactional to show up weekly to a service put on by volunteers but wanting to never be asked to help?

Church isn't entertainment.

It takes the help of a lot of people to make the community great. It's wrong to to sit around taking from others and offering no help in return.

Not having the bandwidth for a period of time is one thing. Expecting to be welcome in a community while also saying you want to "stay at arms length" when it comes to helping is a very different thing altogether. [/quote]

Fewer and fewer people attend church. You aren’t really in a position to be turning people away.[/quote]
