Thanks to Alice Wesley for letting us know a bright side of the current crisis. I suspect many acts of kindness are in the air. In fact, if some are going to receive a “stimulus check” from the government, where should it go if it’s really not needed–a chance for reflection and giving forward. Can we also consider giving help with an unsolicited check?
All ministers know about congregational curmudgeons. Nothing can please them. They regularly inform the minister of their displeasure.
I read our “Ministers’ Chat” on line. It’s heartening to read how many curmudgeons have this week sent in an unsolicited generous check for the minister’s discretionary fund, because during the pandemic many more people need the church’s help.
