Marty had a situation this last week that got me thinking. A few times late in the week, we received some hang up calls at the Black Cloister. Since we have caller I.D. on our phone, we noticed these calls were all from the same caller. When we returned from church on Sunday, there was a message from this same number on our answering machine. On returning the call, Marty discovered the caller was a previous member of our congregation. She had been a member for a few years, but due to a disagreement at church she decided to worship elsewhere.
It turns out; she was calling to give Marty a piece of her mind. She was upset over a donation of technical equipment she made to the church a few years ago. At the time, the church was in need an updated computer. She graciously donated a new computer to the church office. At the time, it was a wonderful gift that was much appreciated. But as we all know (and most of us loathe) our technology is constantly in need of upgrading and replacing.
