I should have know when we were greeted at the car by a
church member and my husband was told, “Leave your suit jacket in the car; you
will be out of place. We’re just country
folks around here.” Well, being in the
ministry, he always wears his suit that’s just the way he taught. And besides that, we thought it was a
joke. Well, it wasn’t.
The Pastor shook our hand at the front door and his dress
attire was a little different than what we were accustomed to. He had on a tight pair of blue jeans, a pull
over shirt, nice work boots and a handkerchief in his back pocket. As we are introduced to his wife (who was
lovely) she had on her capris and a t-shirt.
One by one people filed by and introduced their self, all
dressed in like manner. Now I guess they
were going to plow the fields after church and the ladies were going to get the
picnic ready but come on, we’re worshiping the King of Kings! Could we not have put on our dress slacks?
About the time I thought I had seen it all in come some teenagers dressed in their pajama bottoms, tank tops and flip flops. Oh boy…..
Just an opinion but I think we should show some
respect and not look like we crawled out of bed to get to church!
Does anyone else feel this way? Is church becoming just another Walmart?
