The church has a food bank program to share with every one. Most of voluntary people working in the food bank are very nice. Unfortunately, there are same families which have 2 volunteers ( either husband and wife / mother and daughter) so they take twice free foods they wanted to full loading in 2 cars for themselves, no sharing. Therefore, it resulted to unfairly have less food to distribute to the community instead of 2 families.
Below was my experience when I was there on a day in April 2026 to participate it. I came in at 9:20 AM. I left my rolling cart in line and went back in my car to sleep because the food bank would not open until 12PM. There was no one behind me at the time I left my cart there. I was the 4th one in line. I came out my car around 11:25AM to get ready to come in once the food bank opens. I saw a tall lady standing behind my rolling cart.
Around past noon, when the food bank opened, there was a voluntary lady whose name "Eve" (pronounced as EEVEE) came out. The tall lady who stood next and behind my cart told EVE that I was not here earlier, but only my cart. Eve immediately told me to step out of the line without asking me to verify what lady just said. It was unfair that EVE treated me as I was invisible, and did not respect elderly person who is 66 and older than her a lot.
Therefore, EVE let the lady cut in, and came in first. I spoke up. I insisted telling Eve that I left my cart in line at 9:20 AM, and went back to sleep in my car. Eve smartly (in opposite way) told me that, " I was not here because she came here at 9:00AM."
I said, "You were here at 9:00 AM but you had been inside the whole time so you did not see anything to believe whatever that tall lady said. You did not let me have my voice. Again, I got here around 9:20AM how could you see me here at 9:00AM?"
That was all, I did not say anything bad at all, but EVE told me AT ONCE that if I continued talking she would prohibit me to come inside the food bank on today and FOREVER."
She repeated again loudly that she wouldn't let me to come to the church forever if I did not stop talking to her. She made me so embarrass with other people who were waiting in line at that time. She treated me as I was a committed crime person in the church which she caught me.
I wondered that what did I do wrong, but telling her the correct story. Furthermore, THE GRACE CHURCH IS THE JESUS' HOUSE for any one who believes in JESUS to come praying/socializing. It is NOT her own place/house, and she is not one of pastors either to disallow me coming to the church. On whose behalf, Eve had a right to tell me that she could disallow me to come to the church when I have not done anything wrong. EVE even told me that she is the church member. I believed that even to be pastors, they would not disallow any one to come to the church when they believes in JESUS, and have not done anything wrong.
EVE made me waiting forever until 12:45 to let me come inside the food bank. From the 4th one in line, I was the 34th one to come inside. That was how discriminate EVE did to show her power to be a church member there to me. What church member power she is!
Thank you very much for reading my posting about my experience which has still stressed my soul for several weeks now. I would like to bring it up so that no one would have gone through this very bitter experience like me. read more
