Our family was judged openly in front of other members by a long-standing member of the church who has been involved in youth and adult ministries. It was heard when they weren't aware we were near. Our family is far from perfect and has its strayers, but it was offensive and unwelcoming to hear such words. While we all have thoughts in our minds its another to publicly say such things and make us feel ashamed. Sunrise has become a haven for hypocrisy over the years and it makes us very sad. We hope to find a better church that will show us that, despite our past sins or those of our family, that we are loved and welcomed.
