CALL THE FBI QUICKLY!!!!!!
The local cops should be alerted and be in the area during services.
You are paying them with your and the congregation member’s tax money.
I think you are being scoped out.
It would maybe be a good idea to hire an armed off-duty policeman or two to attend services for awhile.
And you are where? I’d be suspicious, and I’d be locking extra doors and maybe even posting guards at the one door that opened out. Safe > sorry. Esp as it has happened 3 times.
Wise as serpents, gentle as doves.
it sure sounds suspicious to me. Asking the size of the service? I do hope that officials have been alerted.
Call the authorities ASAP!!!
Hmmmmm-worthy...

Dry run in Baghdad. Your church is next, obviously.
You should make a report to your local authorities. It’s their job to make the determination if this is something to be concerned about or not.
WT? Layout of the building?!
Surveillance cameras sound called for.
Michigan is now “shall issue” CCW. People should get a license and carry.
If something like what you and I hope never happens, happens. It will be whatever jihad is only in reverse.
I agree with everyone - call the authorities. Remember the story of actor James Woods witnessing a dry run on one of his flights before a month before 9/11? Mohammed Atta was one of the guys.
I’d find out if a member of the congregation owns or works for a security firm that includes hidden cameras, etc.
It would be a tremendous help for law enforcement if they could not only observe the identities of these guys, but also their BEHAVIOR.
I didn’t even read all the way through your post because thousands or hundreds of thousands of “scoping out” incidents were reported after 9-11, many of them on the stupid threat matrix threads here. Nothing ever came of any of them. Of course, something will come of one some day, but you will become crazy expecting it to happen in your town.
Yikes, I’d be thinking shades of the Beslan Massacre.
Call the F.B.I.
Call the police.
Let your Pastor know
Make sure your Pastor tells the ADULTS in the congregation.
If you don’t have middle eastern types going to your church - this is very odd.
Ping. I think you might want to see this one.
Do you normally ask for this is you are a visiting quest?
“This is the 3rd incident since last March involving young middle-eastern men. The first one involved them asking odd questions about the size of our services, questions about the children’s area, even requesting a layout of the building. “
I wouldn’t.
