This morning, the world came crashing in on us. Anyone who might think that the church is immune from the world's problems needs to read this.
When walking between Building A and Building B, I noticed that the enclosure around the air conditioning equipment for the Family Life Center was standing open. In seconds, I saw that the units were in pieces! Copper thieves hit us overnight.
The emotion hits like a physical blow. It really does hurt and stun you to experience this kind of violation. And the full reality of the loss was even worse than the first impression. 12 units were damaged or destroyed- 94 tons of capacity. The Worship Center, Family Life Center, Cafe, most staff offices and the west side of Building B downstairs are totally without cooling.
That is the bad news- the good news is that we have good insurance and a great HVAC contractor. It isn't positive, but we hope that we will have repairs done by Sunday. But, just in case, no one is going to object if you show up in flops and shorts. It will be toasty if the AC isn't running. Pastor Ken has decided that regardless of the situation, gathering as a body to worship God is important, and we won't let thieves ruin our worship.

I was shocked to hear about this at first, but then not really. Like you said, we're not immune to trouble. If there's no AC on Sunday, it will be a good reminder of how much we have to appreciate and how blessed we are.
