We have 2 young men who attend our church and are there nearly every Sunday. One is a slighly mentally challenged young man of 25, the other a 13 yr old boy. These two hang around with each other. They both ride bikes to church. They are very unkempt and dirty, plus the bike rides don't help matters. We have had several members talk to them about taking a bath, washing their clothes, etc. We even provide toiletries for them in the restroom and have asked them to use them when they get there. They did a few times, but now are not. They talk during church and at the communion rail. Some of our congregation members have complained about their odor, but we can't seem to get through to them. Any ideas? We don't want to lose members, but hate to turn these two away in hopes that they may get something out of the church service other than donuts and coffee before church.
