Delivering meals is about service and ministering to someone who is sick, regardless of their wealth.
True.
But in the strictest sense members are not “delivering meals.” They are dropping them off at the church. The Limo drivers are delivering the meals..
“Delivering meals is about service and ministering to someone who is sick, regardless of their wealth.”
If somebody doesn’t get this, they tell a lot about their values.
It is not about money. It is about family, community, etc.
You are 100 percent correct. But most people don't beg for it. It is supposed to be voluntarily and not requested by the family. It is kinda tacky at best especially since it is only pneumonia. I mean if it was death bed thing I might understand more.

This is true, but usually one actually delivers the meals, not drops them off to be picked up by the limo driver - as if you’re good enough to cook, but not come by the house.
If you’re still paying for a limo, you’ve got money to whip up some ramen and chicken at home. I don’t blame the congregation for being ticked off.

I helped coordinate the meals at my church for several years, including a 6 month span where both parents were dying of cancer. It isn’t just about the FOOD, it is about visiting with them, loving them and having a relationship with them. Those who need meals also need contact with other members of His body. The body of Christ is about personal, connected relations. The body parts are connected with each other as much as they are connected to the head, which is Christ Jesus.
Not wanting people to come to them to bring them food is just yet another example of the Schuller’s shunning the body of Christ, and Christ Himself.
Sad. Just sad.
