Boomers at Church meal
I attend a church in the UK. Pretty liberal end of things with a young pastor, trying to do things in the community. Few boomers do attend and they complain about everything.....
So this week its church annual meeting - we have to hold a formal members meeting yearly to approve accounts and elect trustees - its a condition of the charity commission. It means a (dullish) meeting just after the service so you have a long morning.
The church put on a lunch afterwards: baked potatoes, chilli, cheese, salad and some desserts - done in a help yourself buffet style.
The table of boomers sat and issued their verdict on this free meal:
-as its Sunday this should have been a full roast dinner - not enough effort has been put in by the young people (the church has a small kitchen but not commercial facilities,only volunteers to cook and the food was donated by a bunch of us)
-we shouldn't have a buffet - the food will get cold,we have to stand and wait, we should go first, it should be table service.
-the pastors wife hasn't hand made the desserts herself- these are all bought cheesecakes! She needs to be a better pastors wife and hand bake everything (she works,she had 2 small children and its not the 1950s....)
-why does there need to be a vegetarian option for the chilli- we aren't vegetarians, they should have had something else instead of bothering with that.
- we have to clear up our own plates and take them to the counter ourselves.
Its difficult to maintain your Christian charity as honestly there just sat through the whole thing moaning like this, being miserable and derogatory about the efforts of others, leading you to question why even bother coming - this was never advertised as a resturant.
