Re: Does your church do this?

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.

Re: Does your church do this?
Good grief, I would think AFF posters would be all for a church promoting "theater."
Some of you would find a reason to complain if your church handed you a $500 dollar bill and told you they didn't need any more of your money.
The dinner theater is an exchange of goods and services for money. It's no different than if you went to a Branson show. The best part it goes to support ministry, and they are probably doing it because they didn't feel right asking for an offering.

This complaint wasn't primarily about the money... It was about changing what was previously an outreach activitiy into a fundraiser.

I don't mind giving money to my church, but I feel this is the wrong way to go about raising funds. I may be alone in my opinion on this, but I was just appalled that they would make the decision to do this. It's not like this church would not be able to pay the bills if they didn't do this fundraiser.
Anyone else's church using the Christmas program to solicit more money from it's members?

You didn't make it clear if YOUR church has done Christmas programs for outreach.
Is the Christmas program they are planning in lui of a Christmas banquet?
After they pay for the food, they won't be "raising" much money anyway.

It's impossible to "do" church without money. It takes a lot of it.

Good point rgcraig. I assumed musicm was trying to say their church changed their christmas play from outreach to fundraising.

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...?
