Terrible experience! An embarrassment to the the name of Jesus and what He died for. To think I had brought a Muslim friend with me who would have been attending a church service for the 1st time and we had this experience!
What my friend said after the experience: "churches are like that... they're just good to look at". What a testimony Yorkminister Park Baptist Church. What a gospel to share!
Our experience:
I had just dropped off my luggage at the air bnb and decided to go to church. I am just visiting Toronto. I checked for the closest church that was open and saw this was open from 11am to 2pm. Just after 12 pm, we took the 4 minutes walk down to the church. The 1st bad sign was that all the doors were locked. We walked around and had to l asked people sitting about how to access the property. This took at least 5 minutes. We were told to knock on one of the doors and someone will open - awesome practice of Matthew 7:7 guys!
My friend was the one who knocked. This guy in his suit and tie opened the door and the 1st thing he says: "service is over". He repeated this about 3 times. No hello, no welcome, no how can we help you. Just "service is over". I responded by telling him that online, it says their service is from 11am to 2pm (at the entrance to the church, even the electronic info board also said the same thing). His reponse was something along the line of... "I don't know. The church is closing now. We're just singing the final hymn, people will begin coming out soon".
What if we just wanted to pray or have a quiet time with God mister?
This was really an embarrassment to the name of Christ. You guys shouldn't do better. Jesus would not be proud.
