...is THE board meeting!! The one in which SP and the other board members confront CA regarding her nastiness (and there's been a lot of it lately!).

I am not sure exactly how to ask this question, so I am just going to ask it. How do you deal with slack people? I know that there are some people who we just can't afford to trouble ourselves with them, but there are people who are close to us, like family members, who we cannot afford to separate oursel...

Ladies, I wanted to ask you how do you treat your assistants? Do you feel that they deserve to be treated (I hate to say it) more special than other members. I have a wonderful assistant who helps me in so many ways. But, when I throw parties for her or honor her in a special, many...

Without going into too many details, I'll just say that DH and I have been under some serious spiritual attack, as has the rest of our pastoral staff. Yes, it does have to do with CA. But for now, I'm going to just ask you to pray HARD for us, for our ministry, and our entire churc...

...to not be bitter toward our CA!! After our really successful Summer Splash weekend, the only thing she had to say about it was to issue a memo to me, my DH, the YP, the SP, and the other board members to say that the money that was donated was deposited incorrectly.

Per Cassandra's request... The Alpha Course is a 13-week class on the basics of Christianity. It doesn't exclusively come from any denomination - but it originated in England at the Holy Trinity Brompton Church. It covers topics such as, "Who is Jesus?" "Why and how should we pray" and "H...
