Complaint Box (Suggestions)



In order to try and bring improvement to the Grace Community Church I installed a Complaint Box at the back of the rectory. It is a bin where I can learn what things upset the parishioners without them shouting it in my ear. Let’s open up the box, shall we? Open it with me.




That one was a concise! Some people think I ramble on but the word of the Lord is there in my words. The budget is not satisfactory to obtain pyrotechnics or other such visual delights. And the one time I try that the Fire Department was very disapproving.

 





 

Well that was almost a sentence. I know, the kneeling pedestals are in disarray throughout the church as they are old and wooden, and very few families have taken my suggestion of wearing kneepads to mass. This is a good one. I am going to ask the Church Council if we might have the funds to repair the damaged kneelers. After all if Jesus is a carpenter I can certainly be a carpenter’s apprentice! Or at least the fellow with the plywood.











Let’s move along.






It is heartening to know that there are people who cannot get enough of the Ten Commandments. Many people laugh at them & consider them outdated practices, but I will tell you they are valuable. The one which I consider the most important: ‘Thou Shall Not Worship False Idols.” How many of us are guilty of elevating athletes & musicians to the status of gods? The true God is bigger than any basketball player and more powerful than any guitarist… and so is the god inside of you.

Obviously we have a comedy man in the midst of our church. I hope he establishes some good laughs on the stage & offers them up to God.










This could be from so many peoples. The point is we have shared our common complaints and alleviated our pressures… I will get to work on the issue of the broken kneelers. In the meantime, please do not kill the homeless, no matter how great the temptation. Let us pray…
