Okay, folks this is a total vent. If you don't want to hear me complain just skip this one. <sigh> If you read it please pray that I'll recover my sweet disposition quickly and do what needs to be done. We have a lovely woman in our church who ALWAYS does the adult Christmas program. She has been su...

The first church I interviewed at called me back today. They just wanted to touch base and say they didn't forget all about me - they're still interviewing candidates, and to get through that process, it's going to take them through the end of December. Yikes! That's a lot of peopl...

For all those times that I come to the board & asked for prayer, I would be amiss if I did not come & say thanks to the Lord for what He has done for me this last year. One of the most amazing things happened about 3 weeks ago. A lady in the A/G church about 20 minutes away went to her pa...

Good evening! We are in need of your prayers tonight. We learned that the building we sublease church space from isn't up to code on much of anything. Our biggest concern is lack of a fire escapes from the main sanctuary. They are currently gated and barred. The landlord/pastor got very defensive be...

I'm back! I had a wonderful time at the Children's Pastors' Retreat, and then came back to work (where I do most of my posting during my down time and on breaks

) and my Internet wasn't working. So it's Saturday morning, and I'm just now getting around to checking back in here... T...

I guess this question would be more for those who have started new churches or pastored very small churches. We have heard of pastors who are receiving a percentage of the offerings as their pay .........not as a bonus but as their only salary. Does anyonehere have experience with this?...

Hi ladies, Just wanted to know what you all are planning for the Christmas holidays for you church. I also wanted know more about this "open house fellowship." I think someone here told me about opening your house all day (maybe from 10 am-5pm), and allowing your members to stop by for refre...

Oh Lord, please help me! I'm zapped with major time takers!!! Did you ever have certain individuals who just monopolize your time? They have come out of the woodwork for me this week. What I hate about it...yes, I resent it, I'll admit it...is that they keep me from the people tha...

Hubby and I are still in our first year of ministry. I'll admit, I don't think I've ever prayed this much! I understand some things that I didn't before I started pastoring with hubby. There were things my former pastor would do (or wouldn't do) that would boggle my mind. I'm thinking why can't we just ma...

If you've got one, you'll appreciate this. Yesterday, my teen asked if she could testify. Of course we said yes! She went on to say that during a competition Saturday there was a lot of drama going on and she pulled some other teens to the side to pray. Then she said worship happened. The song...O come let...

I feel like a total idiot right now. Before I continue, let me remind you that I hold a degree in English with a Professional Writing Emphasis. Not to mention I worked in the staffing industry for almost three years. I have always considered myself to be a fairly intelligent person...

Deanna, I can benefit from your wisdom. God called both hubby and I to pastor. How do you handle this? We've heard that anything with two heads needs to be killed... *sigh* And women in ministry...especially in pastoral roles...is still frowned upon and preached against. I am who I am. I know...

I just wanted to publically thank all the beautiful women on this board who have responded to my posts! I am a member of a few boards that are supposed to be geared to female pastors and women in ministry but honestly all they end up being are sites to publish your thoughts or messages and a way to a...

Ah, yes - the inevitable "weight loss" topic that pops up every once in awhile here... My New Year's Resolution last year was to be in shape/at goal by the time I turned 30. Now I realize that I have been playing around and not really committed to my health, and I only have nine months left....
