I stopped taking LilBit to our local church, when Pastor wouldn’t give her communion. I heard through the grapevine that a new pastor started this week, so I made call to speak with him
Long story short, he was yelling at me at end of call. But his answer was NO , she “ doesn’t understand the meaning of communion”
I’m really not sure where the Methodist church is going, but they will go there without us.
