Christmas Sucked, no heat, prayer answer = NO

Alot of people are angry over the churches and Christian organizations not helping as much as they did in the past..I dont think its unreasonable for a church to ask you to become a member and contributing body to their work if you are going to ask them for money that their members donated. The churches are hit with requests all year long but it triples during November and December and many are doing so poorly with their tithes/offerings due to the economy, they are feeling obligated to help their struggling members first.
Maybe you should consider joining a church and participating all year long and then you may make some lasting relationships in the process and meet people in the position to help you..I went to a church for help and got none many years ago and this is the advice that was given to me. It took a long time but finally I realized if my family was not able or willing to help me, I needed another family and the right church family became just that..it took me some time to find the right place, but I am now surrounded by members that are like my own family and when I am in need, there are more than enough people willing to help me..also please keep in mind that mostly all churches have outreach ministries and are committed to angel tree(gifts for needy children)..prison ministries, and international giving..I think this year sign ups for most non profits like toys for tots are in October..we will try to keep everyone on this page updated so that those who got no help this past Christmas get first shot at it this year.

 in response to Dav23...   I didnt know when the cut off day was, or who was offering services until too late. I tried to explain, but it fell on deaf ears. I was also hoping things would work out so that I would not have to ask for help. This is all new to me. What did I know... Nothing clearly.

Why did you apply so late?
