Survivor guilt (?)

We no longer have Methodists in Canada, because they were absorbed into the United Church of Canada in 1925 along with Congregationalists and some Presbyterian congregations. But the church I grew up in was very aware that it had started out as a Methodist church in the mid 1800s, and still did John Wesley's order of service, so you might say that I grew up as an honourary Methodist, and that we align almost perfect both on our religious backgrounds and current beliefs.

(There is still a splinter evangelical group called "Free Methodists" around the St. Lawrence River in Upstate NY and Eastern Ontario; I was told they got the name because they didn't charge pew rents in the 19th century, but that might be wrong).

Looks like there are some Methodist congregations in Canada still. Here's one of them. They worship on Sundays. I parked near their building about a month ago, on a Saturday; there was a wedding ceremony going on. To my surprise, I got a text on my phone; the sender has the word infraction (part of the name): "You parked here." There was a guy operating a drone; I asked him, "Am I in trouble. And how did you get my cell number and you are able to send me this text?" He replied, "No, you're not in trouble. It just means we know you parked here."
