[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16164152, member: 181885"] This, to an extent. More than likely, someone in the church community had sticky fingers and ran off with the boat, probably while waving, saying "see you next week" and making people think they're "just helping." There are a lot of very fake people who prey on churches and the generosity/trusting nature of the church community. My advice would be not to condemn that specific church on the whole. Most people there probably haven't even given it two thoughts and actually go for the right reasons. Try to schedule a time to meet with the preacher, explain the situation. Unless the preacher was in on it, I would almost expect them to make an announcement asking for help to find the boat. Unsolicited CV355 Story Time: ~6 years ago, my sister was working at Ruby Tuesday's. She hated working Sundays because the same church group came in, treated her like crap, and left pamphlets instead of tips. She'd go home with less than $50 for a full shift because parties limit the number of tables you can serve. She posted a picture on social media of the pamphlets and big fat 0 for tip and explained she can't pay for college with them (warned her to be careful...). It gained local attention, and before too long, emails were going back and forth with the church. The church reached out to my sister, apologized profusely, did an entire sermon on generosity and "God's Money," and even took up a collection to help her out with college. Not what I expected to happen. Point is- give it a shot, but don't get nasty about it. You never know, they may surprise you. [/QUOTE]
