Does your church's Ladies Group do baby showers for young women who...?
...attended as kids but are no longer active in the church? I'm the Ladies Group leader at my church, and we decided a few years ago that we would only do baby showers for women who are active members of the church. (We had done a couple for women who hardly ever attended, and some ladies were afraid it was getting out of hand, so we went back to the group's old policy that they had before I got involved.)
Now we have two girls (in their 20's) who attended church as kids and teens, but never really came back after they graduated high school. Their parents/grandparents still attend, but neither girl has been there more than once or twice in the last five or six years.
Now it gets tricky. I was asked by the grandmother of one of the girls if our Ladies Group was going to have baby showers for the girls, and suggested we have a joint one. I told her that we had decided to only have baby showers for active members of the church. I think I hurt her feelings. The girl she was asking about had been one of my very first Sunday School students, and I'd love to do a shower for her. But, the decision was made before either girl was pregnant. (The other girl never came to Sunday School, so I don't really know her.)
So, I'm just kind of getting a feel for what other churches do. What is your policy in this situation?

by doing a baby shower you are encouraging these young women that there are people who care , who knows , by reaching out to them they may return to the church , remember a church is a hospital for sinners , not a social club.
catholics have pregnancy help centres which they can apply to have clothing offered to them , my wife knits for a help centre . no questions are asked .
