Not sure how and when to contact her ...

Di_Can_Cook · 05-18-2008, 08:29 PM

OK, first I should explain that I've been in my church for a really long time and I've seen a lot of people come and go.

Several people have left my church in recent months for various reasons. Some I know pretty well and still consider them to be "family."

Some time ago, a woman in my church expressed interest in having a party. We were tentatively looking at April but were never able to connect.

Well, I just heard today that this woman and her husband have left the church because somebody offended them. (I am not sure who it was, but if it was me, I am sure I would have known it!)

I tried to call her just last week and was wondering why I never heard back.

I am wondering if it would be OK just to send her an e-mail or a note in the mail letting her know that I still consider her to be family and that I would be honored to do a show for her friends, family and anyone from her new/old church.

I don't want to stalk her ... but I also want to make sure she knows that I'd still love to do a show for her, no matter where she goes to church.

I would email her - what have you got to lose?

Why don't you just call her again?

Does she know that you know? If not, just call her because you do have a business contact with her.

I'm not sure if she knows that I know what's up with them ....

Someone at church announced today that the person who was leading a ministry had "moved out of the area." I didn't hear until later that they didn't move ... they just went back to their old church.

Her sister still attends our church.

Anyway ... I think I'll just send a nice note .... and probably just leave the PC stuff out of it, so she knows that I care about her as a person, and not just as a business contact! If I DO mention anything about PC, I might just mention that the knives are a host special in August, since she mentioned that her husband wanted the knives!

(And if the person who offended them is the person I think it might be ... then I'd kind of like to know some day because she offended me too! Of course, I know this person is very emotionally troubled ... so I take everything she says with a huge grain of salt! They probably don't know her well enough.)
