Super Sunday

This "Super" Sunday turned into be a super problem-filled Sunday at good old WSBC this morning.  I haven't looked at a calendar but I would swear that it is a full moon.  We had more security issues at church this morning than we normally have in two months put together.  But thanks to our security and safety plans and procedures, everything was handled without incident.

We did have one interesting issue that is note-worthy:  we had another appearance by what we call Plastic Bag Man. Actually, this happened last Sunday.

Plastic Bag Man is an African American man, in his 40's, that has dozens and dozens of plastic grocery store bags wrapped around both legs from the fee up to his knees.  I kid you not.  

Plastic Bag Man was first spotted about a month or so ago in our church coffee shop.  He got a free cup of coffee, and left without incident.  Then he returned last Sunday. And this time, he was causing problems by coming up to our church members in the parking lot as they were getting into or out of their cars, asking for money.  And not just asking for money - he would approach the car and as the car door was opened, he would grab the door so they couldn't close it. Unfortunate for us, these incidents last Sunday happened before and after our off-duty officer was there.   Needless to say LMPD took care of that.

It's never a dull Sunday at WSBC.
