The downtime to Xero has become so bad, they actually disabled/removed the past uptime graphs/bars that let you see that their service is often having issues.
Now you can only view the 'current' status as well as any "pinned" downtime or incident that they have not currently closed. By comparison, other company's Atlassian Statuspages almost universally show past historical information.
I'm not joking. Half of what's spoken about in church is charity and outreach and that usually starts with helping people in the surrounding area. Volunteering, homeless charities, donating food, clothing, etc. even finding someone to house-sit your place and pat your dog that's trustworthy.
Obligatory 'not all churches' do this but the overwhelming majority I've been to in the last umpteen years do.
It boggles my mind that people are living in their cars down the road from a church and have never even walked in. When I walk into just about any church and the first thing that I hear is that there's beds and rooms available for those who need them. If not on-site then within a short drive or phone call to put you in the right direction.
Granted, most churches I've been to are pretty small. 80 tops in the congregation at once. I've also never been to catholic churches, only reformationist. That's my personal experience.
Before I ever went to church I thought it was all just about sitting and listening to someone talk for an hour. I had at least a dozen extremely wrong ideas about what people in churches even do. I saw what I thought was enough scandals in the news but ultimately realised the fact that's like throwing out an entire sport because one player did something reprehensible.
Years later, I know the truth is free childcare, free food, accommodation if you need it and more friends than I could ever count. It's become the biggest cheat code to life I've ever found and I've travelled the world and instantly have friends when I walk into just about any church anywhere. People to visit and things to do.
YMMV but for goodness sake. If you're legitimately in need, don't knock it until you've actually tried it. Out of the last 5 sermons I've been to, 4 of them spoke about available assistance for homeless people.
