One more question today: Does anyone have any suggestions for "on the go" dinners that a person can eat on Wednesday nights? As in...REAL food, not fast food? I work until 5:00 pm. Then, we really need to be back at the church by 6:00 to get ready for the Wednesday night programs. ...

Wow. When God does a thing...He does a thing! Our first services in the new building were wonderful. Saturday we went out evangelizing and someone actually showed up Sunday morning as a result of our going out! Said they were coming back for the evening celebration and they did. We're going to definit...

Laughing my face off right now, because God has a sense of humor!!! I hadn't even asked Him for this yet...but I have been a little worried about overseeing the nursery AND all the other kids' programs, too. Lo and behold, I was sitting at my desk today, and this lady comes in and introd...

Remember me and our church family in prayer this weekend. I still don't have the keys to the bldg and its the first. Leasing agent says I should have by noon. I'm too tired to be frustrated right now. We've got so much moving and setting up to do. Not to mention we have a 9 am street evangelism event tomorr...

I was just wandering if anyone else out there has people who attend their churches that expect the pastor and his wife to do whatever they ask. Here is just one example of what I'm talking about: I had a lady call me last week wanting and expecting me to buy her some coffee and laxatives. (Y...

I've never ministered in any size church other than a small one, so I have no frame of reference for this... Does the children's pastor typically run the nursery program, too? I ask because the WIFE of the previous CP used to do all the nursery coordination...which was fine, because she was...

Good afternoon to all! Just found this board and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Missy; my DH and I have been married a little over 2 years and been pastoring for a little over 1 1/2 years. We each came into our marriage with a daughter each. They are 21 and 14; we did have a son-...

Ladies, I adore my DH. From my posts, I guess you know it. I love how seriously he takes his responsibility as spiritual leader in the home. He gathers everyone for devotions every night, does a couples devotion with me, gets everyone up and going in the morning for church. His problem is, wh...

The first person to leave the ministry. This is the house guest we had that I posted about some months back. Things never really got better. We weren't respected in our home and we weren't respected as pastors. When we devised a schedule of shared chores...their response was "do I have too?...

Hey girls, I just want to let you know the outcome of the last four weeks. Well, I told you back then that we had a C.A. when we got back from vacation and then it was like all hell was coming against us for a week or so. But guess what...God showed up and showed off! The week our CA left, it was...

We're having the church chairs delivered this evening! Woohoo! Thank you Jesus! We got what we wanted for the price we wanted. We had been going back and forth with a local vendor who said he could get vinyl black padded chairs for $15/chair. He could never produce&n...

My mom went to a seniors' retreat a few months ago, and shared the jist of one of the messages with me: it was about the difference between wounds and scars. He pointed out that physically, when we are first wounded, we can describe in graphic detail how we got it - what we were doing at the time, exactly h...

My dad is backslidden. Wounded in church and has never stepped foot in another. I've prayed off and on for him. Sent letters. Invited him to church to see his grandkids minister and get baptized. He would not come. Right now he's simmering hate in his heart for another family member. Huge fight between...
