The bring Bibles and have been coming to services and adult discussion groups for at least 6 months. We've been hospitiable and patient, but it's gone on a little long for my tastes.
These people are of a fundamentalist sect and my church is Liberal Christian. I've heard they have members that have gone to any other sect that is not their own, Baptist, Episcopalian, United Churches of Christ, etc.

Politely ask them to leave! If they do not leave - have the authorities escort them off the property.

Wow, is they're a group or people doing that! I think that is terrible, because they don't understand that the church considers itself "the body of Christ".
They can be closer to each other than most families are.
And that is an understanding that most people outside the church fail to understand. They have never been introduced to that concept.

This is What We Believe!!! The Native American's!!!
Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, gives thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).
2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.
3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.
4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.
5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.
6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.
7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.
8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.
9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.
10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.
11. Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.
12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.
Wahoo!!!

To what?
People are very much welcome to come and share their messages if they think they are truthful and from God. If they are, they will be welcomed and encouraged. If it is against Gods truth it will be rejected.
