People drinking coffee in church.
...........................................
A few years back, I observed a long time female, adult, member of our Baptist church come in a little late. She was carrying a McDonald’s breakfast meal. Service had already started, she took a seat and proceeded to eat her meal.
The Pastor noticed and interrupted the service to ask sister Marie to please take her meal to the basement where there are tables and chairs.
Sister Marie, not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, say’s “no thanks Pastor, I’m fine right here”. Pastor saw that he was not getting through to her, then plainly told her to take the food down stairs to eat it, then come back and join us in worship.
OMG. She had been a member for a while, and still was clueless about respect and basic etiquette? oy...
