Review for Fort Worth Hope Center, Fort Worth, TX, USA
I was very disappointed in this place. First, the website says it starts from 8-10am. So we get there at 7:30 along with my children who had a light snack. We wait in line for 30 mins to get in. Once we're in we were seated and proceeded to wait until 9 am for a church service that was not specified on the website.
I love church, but I felt it was very misleading... also the guy that preached talked more about his personal life than the Bible, he sang his own songs, and was really into himself. He changed the subject numerous times so I don't even know what the service was about!
It's about 10 am now and service is over. My children have been complaining about how hungry they were as was I.
The lady next to me said they usually start at 10:30. So there we are waiting another 45 mins before they called our number to head to the back.
Long story short we got there at 7:30 didn't leave until 11:15 am.
I felt forced to attend a service that didn't do anything but upset me. My children couldn't concentrate because they were very hungry, and what if I was from another religion? Can't you still show the love of Jesus just by giving food, and an invitation to attend church at the location? To me, that speaks more volume than forcing a person to sit through that.
We desperately needed help so that's why we were there, but it just didn't seem right in my heart the way things were done.
Again, I'm a believer, and I already attend a church that I love, I have a job, and I don't receive assistance. We were just in a bind because I was hurt and couldn't work for a few days so it put us back a little. I just needed help this one time. And I do thank you for the food you provided.
