Re: Church to pay for certain members??

What do you guys think?
*lol* Is he for real?

I attend a non-denominational church that is diverse in membership (maybe 60/40 with whites being the majority) but its not because I was paid $5!

The church's actions and message is what drawn me to it. Maybe someone should tell the Pastor this?

What about just inviting a predom. white church to your service as a guest, do events together, etc in order to expose more non-blacks to the church? Save the $5 for an outreach or something.
