St Margaret's Episcopal Church

My aunt passed away after losing her three year long battle with cancer. We knew when it was coming because we were sent home from Moffit and told to call Hospice. As a family we were trying to spend as much time with her as we possibly could in her last few days. My aunt lived in a house that is divided into three small apartment units. Even in normal circumstances the parking is less than ideal. My aunt was a very loved person. We had many people who wanted to see her before she passed and we didn’t have the parking to accommodate that so we started using the empty church parking lot next door. This was fine all week until Sunday and then my sister overheard someone from the church very rudely say that they needed to start having our cars towed. There were still plenty of open spots in their parking lot. The following day my uncles wife went and talked to the pastor and told him our situation and she said he was very understanding about it and said to go ahead and park there just park on the other side on Sunday’s. That was great. We were happy with that. And then that following Saturday is when my aunt passed away. A few us spent the night with my aunts daughter to be there for her and we completely forgot to go out and move our cars. The next morning I left to get us some coffee and saw that we had forgotten to move the cars but it didn’t seem to matter because there was still plenty of parking spots open and no one had even had to park on the other side of the grass where he had asked us to park. A few hours later we came out to posters on our cars that said they would all be towed at owners expense. The day after my aunts passing. When they knew that she had just passed away from cancer and our few cars made no difference in their lot. Way to show compassion in a time of need. Shame on you, Saint Margaret’s.

My friend and I called.them to see if they had funding for our electric bill . It was two ladies walking out the one lady said they didn't have funding. When my friend explained she called she thought about it after hesitating and saying she can come back for food the next day. She said no I just need help with my electric so after saying it 29 rimes she let her in. I said I would like some help too. She turned her head and put up her arms and shook her head. Like she didn't have time for me. We left after she helped my friend. I later called back the same lady refused to let me talk to a pastor. She actually put me on hold for 30 min's. I hung up and called back I explain to the pastor what happen his first words out his mouth was how long has it been since you been here? I explained it beends a while. He said what's a while I said 3 years. He said well maybe she reconciled you and that's why he she said that? I said do you hear yourself? I sad I haven't been here for 3 years so that gives her a right to treat me like I am trash? I would never recommend anyone going there the way I was treated yesterday. I am so discussed because that is not how you treat someone especially in a church. Goes to show you church ppl are really right eaither
