Hill City Church 5 years, we are gutted

To say I am a little gutted at the way Sue and I have been treated by the pastor of Hill City Church, one Dai Hankey to be precise, would certainly be an understatement!!

Lets start at the beginning, some months ago now I got a text from Mr Hankey asking me if we wanted to take part in the 5th anniversary celebrations of the said church. Sue and I talked about it and felt we would really like to as I was in on the ground floor so to speak of the planting of the church. We also made some really good friends there.
Well as time went on I tried several ways to contact Mr Hankey only to be met with a brick wall! What ways did I try? First I tried to text him, no reply, I tweeted him on twitter, no reply, I emailed the church email address, no reply, I rang the church phone constantly, no answer! I can only surmise that he contacted us under pressure from others and had no intentions of doing anything to follow it through.

I personally cannot see that we would have detracted from the "I am the great Dai Hankey and I have my head so far up my own backside because I am great" too much, but then perhaps it would have? I feel very much that perhaps Mr Hankey should look at Romans 12 v 3. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. (NIV)

We are quite upset about it as we had made quite a few friends there and were looking forward to seeing them again but did not go as we did not feel we would be welcomed and did not want to spoil the occasion for others.

We intend to go there (not to the church, but the area) sometime in the near future to spend some time seeing the friends!!!
