Should there be grass and not weeds at all LDS church camps?

Your church should already have guidelines of who should be allowed to be near the children. \n\nMy church has a background check done on all people that want to work with the children.  We also have teams of two workers per each class.  We try to have more women than men work with the children.\n\nAfter classes are done, it is the parents responsibility to keep an eye on their children.  We return their children directly to the parent and don't just let the children loose to roam the church grounds.\n\nWith rules and guidelines in place, a prison ministry should be fine.  Pedophiles are required to let the town they move to know about their background.  You can check your local listings.  They will have a picture of the person and the crime they have committed. \n\nAs a parent, I know there is always potential danger to my children.  Even at church.  The church is supposed to open it's arms to the world in love.  Not everyone that attends has Christ on their minds.

Its not an acceptance of god that there is that path. It could base of many factors. Never had knowledge of other options,habitations created inappropriate behaviors and less then admirable adult advocates.We realize that there is power in prayer but sometimes we fail in strength outreaching low income communities.We should regroup and get our power of support for our needy families.

That really depends what part of the states you are in. There are of course the badlands, but most of the states are prarie grass. Some of it is rolling but a lot of it is totally flat.

You don't cut turf, worry about weeds, and it doesn't die like grass.  In my opinion, grass is better to play on than turf.  There are those who believe otherwise.

We don't do drugs.. sorry if you are confused about what a mormon is.. maybe you should do a little research before asking a question that is so demeaning to a group of people.

It depends.  If the campsite has hunting or something, probably yes.  But if they don't they probably won't let you for safety reasons.  Also they might let you if there is hunting nearby.

Isn't that a Mormon church? If it is, then it's full of morons. The Bible clearly says not to add or take away any part of it, and they just decided to write their own version.

Well, first of all, Mormons don't have pentagrams on any of their temples. That's kind of funny, I've never heard that before. Go to http://www.mormon.org to find out more. As far as not wearing crosses, it's not that you can't, it's perfectly fine if you want to. But we try not to focus on the symbol of Christs death, but rather on his life, and his atoning sacrifice for us. Hope that helps, have a great day!

I don't recall ever hearing anything about environmental stewardship in my church.\n\nMy church is Pentecostal.\n\nDefinitely conservative.

How about a sunrise service in the park, the beach, or on a mountainside? You'd be in nature, surrounded by all the beauty God created. The sunrise would be the icing on the cake. Plus, it would give the preacher time to get back to the church for services there.

It is an Assemblies of God church.  Personally, I am not a fan of pentacostal churches, so I would recommend you avoiding that particular church and going to a non-pentacostal church.

I live a couple miles away from several of these mega-churches and I can tell you first hand, it is a surreal experience that I would not want to repeat. I dont think a church should ever get too big. How can you lead your sheep if you dont even know your sheep.

Perhaps you should be right up front and ask why your friend is doing that.  I once had a best friend who was involved in many church and athletic activities with me.  One day I went to visit him after returning from a two year mission and his interests were elsewhere.  My hindsight from my own experience has taught me that maybe you  should "go often to the house of your friend, for weeds choke up the unused path."

I've had mormon friends married by their bishop outdoors, in homes and at other non-church venues.  Bishops are authorized to perform marriages just like clergymen from other churches.  A non-temple wedding could be whatever the couple agrees on & the bishop agrees to conduct.  The only difference is that you won't be sealed like you would in a temple.  But you can always do that later on. Hope this helps.
