well it was a poor choice of Sundays to visit. It was pledge Sunday so it was all about $$, which I understand is necessary to plan your year.

It was a lovely church...a Methodist Church..I have never been able to distinguish the difference between Presbyterians and Methodists. And it was a very large church which, after experiencing such a small one, we're interested in a bigger one.

The minister did get everyones attention with his opening remarks about a church in New York city that ministers to the poor with many outreach programs...they had a difficult decision to make when tons of pigeon droppings were discovered in their rafters..it would take several hundred thousands of dollars to remove and repair so they chose to close the church. They had several million dollars in trust so they could have gone the other route but I guess $$ was more important to them.

I'm left wondering where the $$ now goes.
