Even though I live in a fairly affluent area, my church community is made up of people from all walks of life.
It’s reassuring to see people from numerous races and socioeconomic demographics coming together to share their love for the lord.
Whenever a member is going through adversity in their life, the people I was with and I all band together to help them out of their complications in whatever way the people I was with and I possibly can. When this woman named Cindy was widowed following her wife’s workplace accident, she didn’t know where she and her 3 children would sleep if she couldn’t keep paying the rent on their apartment. Not only did church members pool cash together to momentarily cover her existing rent, but another church member provided the family a permanent beach house to rent at a half-off discount. She was only charged $400 a month for rent outside of the cash for basic utilities enjoy electricity, water, and cable/internet. Naturally, when the church needed a new , a handful of massive donations came in from some of the wealthiest people in the community and the work was done within afternoons of the Heating as well as Air Conditioning failing. We’re all affected by poor air conditioner inside the church, especially if the unit isn’t toiling at all. I wonder what people do in communities where there isn’t a mix of people from all socio-demographics. How can you expect to collect enough cash for cooling system repairs if every member of the church is struggling financially? For the sake of our sanity with quality indoor air control, I’m blissful that I’m not exposed to that kind of situation.
