Our church is also closing in the near future! I've been a member of Saint John Vianney in Deptford for 40 of my 46 years here on God's green earth. Every Saturday and Sunday masses are packed. This I will promise you when those doors close so will my Roman Catholic experience. Father Tim and his teaching were key to me coming back from the Methodist church. Now I feel betrayed by this Bishop dude. This is a promise to the Bishop, I'm done with the Catholic faith when those doors are closed for the last time! There is more to life then money and keeping up with the Jones's (other Mega-Churches). I personally don't care what other faiths are doing. I LOVE the family atmosphere we have at our church and thats what it should be based on. This clown called our Bishop can have his hopefully half empty Mega-Churches!!!!!!! I'll pray from home for now on.

     P.S. Jesus first church wasn't big or based on the buck. For that fact Jesus didn't care how people perceived them or their church. It was a gathering of those who LOVED Christ and is Father. Mr. Bishop some of those gatherings were three or four people with Christ. By the way he didn't shut if down like your planning because of the lack of numbers.
