Re: Does your church do this?
I suppose our church is probably the exception to the rule, but we rarely ever charge for anything we invite the public to. I can't even remember the last time we charged for something, now that I think about it. In fact, we do 2 FREE clothing give-aways every year. Our mother-daughter tea is free, our Christmas banquet is free, we do a Christmas "play" with the Sunday School kids every december, which is, you guessed it, free.

The truth is, I don't like the idea. But I just get an icky feeling when someone has some angst with the church they're attending and attempts to solve it by going on an internet discussion board looking for opinions. I don't see much of a way that's going to result in anything good. We're all here just blabbing. But MusicMaster has to sit there next week and potentially listen to a pastor she's ticked off at, loaded with negative opinions he/she gathered on AFF.

Re: Does your church do this?
Charge for the meal or a "theatrical" event, yeah ok. But don't call it "outreach". True "outreach" should never cost anything.

Nothing new here. I think, and I've always thought, it's dangerous to bring a grievance with one's local church here to this forum and get opinions. In any area of life, if one has a contention with another, the best solution is always to go directly to the source. To do otherwise is to potentially corrupt one's heart beyond repair.

I'm pretty sure I've seen you give out opinions in all those areas? Maybe I'm mistaken though...?

I suppose if it's a general discussion, sure. But any time someone has come on here and said, "My church is doing such-and-such, what do you think?" I've said the same thing. The last time I saw it was Cindy or Margie....can't remember which one. And I said the same thing then.
