Well, It Was Confirmed

I hadn't been at church long this morning when the president of the council approached me to tell me that they were no longer going to pay me to clean. I told him that I figured so much when I seen it under new business on the agenda. I approached my friend...or at least I thought she was my friend....and told her that I found out why she was hem hawing around about telling me what went on at the council meeting. She pretty much laid in to me saying it wasn't her place to tell me. I told her that I didn't see why not, especially since I am a council meeting. Then I felt like she was laying into me again saying that I missed the meeting so that was my fault. Here I thought she was on "my side" on changing the day of council meeting so that I can attend again. The other guy then was talking about turning off all the lights to make a point to the congregation that enough money is not coming in to even pay the utility bills. Well, you can't squeeze blood from a turnip as the saying goes. One man stated that he can start giving a little more than he is now. There are just too many of the few members that are left that just have it in their minds that within the next year the church will close. They have closed their minds to anything else. It doesn't have to be that way. We do have to have fundraisers that involve the public!! So many are against the fundraisers....why, I don't know. Well, I guess it's because with so few members it's only a few members that are willing to even help with fundraisers. We are having a big Christmas fundraiser starting on Black Friday. Actually, there is a lot more people stepping up to help than there has been. This is to be the last one as they plan on selling the stuff for little of nothing on the last day to try to get rid of it. I still plan on doing a rummage sale in the summer. The other thing we need to do is have an annual dinner of some sort like we used to do. It can be simple like a spaghetti dinner. I am going to talk to a few people to see if they would be in for doing it. You know, everything has to be council approved and some of those people set that the church will close, are on the council. Sigh...yes, as you can tell, this is still weighing very heavy on me.
