Dear Friend:
Recently, I was very hungry and I walked into a submarine sandwich shop in which
there were no customers. The prices in this shop were pretty high and I was
hungry enough to pay the high prices. I stood in front of the counter for at
least three minutes before the person behind the counter (with absolutely no
customers mind you) even acknowledged that I existed. Even after barely acknowledging
my presence with a passing glance, it was at least another minute before this
person looked my way barely indicating that he was ready to take my order. Still
having not yet been spoken to, I placed my order as he slowly and unenthusiastically
began to fix my sandwich as though it was painful to him. Then he immediately
disappeared and after a minute or more another unenthusiastic person (probably the
manager) slowly walked in, never looked at me directly, finished my sandwich and
only spoke barely enough to give me the price of my order. I forced her to speak when
I asked, "How are you today?" She quietly muttered "Okay" under her breath still never
looking at me directly in the eye. As she barely handed me my food, I gave her my money
and said "Thank You" and left without her saying one more word to me and certainly not
looking at me. All this time, I was asking myself why I had not gone to the submarine
sandwich shop I really like where the last time I had been a person stood eagerly and
anxiously behind the counter looking at me before I entered the door. This person stood
poised like a cat with pen in hand anxiously ready to take my order and eagerly answer my
questions. Behind him a person rapidly began to cook the hot meal for my family and I and
before I knew it this person brought the hot delicious food straight to our table
and offered further service. This was not even a table service restaurant. Which sandwich
shop do you think I WILL go back to? Which sandwich shop do you think I WILL NEVER go back
to? In the restaurant business is it said that people will go where the atmosphere is warm
and the food is hot! Many people will flock to and fill up a church where the atmosphere is
warm and the food is hot! Nowhere should the atmosphere be warmer and the food hotter than
in Jesus' church where God's precious word is served. You are on the front lines of Jesus'
church. You will make the difference! Be very aggressive, be present every Sunday, be at your
post early, go get 'em before they even get to the door and make sure the atmosphere is very
warm because the food will be hot! We are always in need of people who will come get together
with us to make sure the atmosphere is warm! Come help us today!
Sincerely,
Frank Ingram, Jr., Pastoral Care Pastor
