I am home bound but my husband goes to a relatively large church for our small town. He is almost ninety, but carries a gun and still goes to target practice every week. Since he knows the head of security I hope this Sunday he will ask him more about the protection plan and he will receive the Information you offer if he doesn’t already follow it.

The main reason for my Comment is to ask for pray points to help me and others who will pray We live near a fairly large city whom I am sure could also use prayer covering. Thank you for what ever prayer help you can give us and also for your ministry. May God bless you richly!

Keith- thank you for your prompt post of the armed church intruders in TX. With God's grace, no loss of life or injuries occurred. The safety officer's quick response prevented the attack from coming inside.

I'd like to emphasize the importance of the outer perimeter. If you can see problems arise outside they can be addressed, preferably with back up notified. Once the threat is inside, the risk to loss of life and injuries to parishioners escalate dramatically, especially when attackers have long guns. Video and exterior sweeps help keep the outer perimeter clear and prevents the difficult to defend "blitz attack".

This was a false report by a church member. He was arrested for making a false report.

This is just 40 miles from our church, and I was in Burnet on Sunday morning coming back from a trip with my son. NEVER think it won't happen to your church because it's just a small church in a small community.
