TO DRILLER:melissa is a former church employee she ran their nurseury so you are actualy wrong. Also the chruch is the one who took out the building loan for the child care building so yes she was a chruch employee that way too. the money from the day care was suppose to go back into the daycare yes making it its own bussiness but essentially it was a part of the church. And are you trying to justify her stealing? That its somehow acceptable because she worked for the day care not the church?? NO whats wrong is wrong regardless of who her actual employeers were (even though church members were the ones that signed her checks. There is no grounds for people to try to justify her actions they were wrong then and they are still wrong now.
