What if church members can’t afford the price of the tickets? That means they can’t attend?
Read my post that you're replying to: "I’ve been in church-sponsored events at large auditoriums in which they asked for an amount to cover costs, but didn’t require it." For those of you in Rio Linda, that means people who can't afford the price can still attend.
I don't know if that's how this church is handling this event. I'm just saying it's how I've seen it done like this before.
