Hello all you beautiful pastoring partners...
I rarely if ever post things like this because to be quite honest, if you add up all the needs in all of our churches, there would be a million. But this one is really important and very prominent in my life & church.
There is a member of...

Okay...rather than go back to my other posts and update each of them, I thought I'd just summarize them all in one post:
1. Credentialing test - DONE! PRAISE JESUS! It wasn't nearly as difficult as I imagined it would be - just long. But it's done - my application and $75 late fee ar...

Hello ladies...
Well, I can breathe once more. My main women's Christmas outreach is over...and very successfully! Let me tell you, this was probably my most stressful EVER in 18 years. And I know the enemy wanted it that way, because God had much up His sleeve to do in women's li...

Hi! As you may have guessed from my user name, I am a soon-to-be children's pastor. I am already employed by a church as a children's ministry director, and I just needed to vent somewhere!
So, there's this lady in my church - a board member, no less - who apparently has some sort of person...

Disturbances during Worship
(Preview)
Hi ladies!
How does everyone feel about babies and toddlers during worship who may cause problems in worship service? Crying, fussing, kicking the pew. And the parents who do not choose to use the nursery facility. I am not judging, just an observation that some parents...

Grace and peace to all of you!
It has been a while since I have had a moment of free time where I could share with you lovely ladies... Part of that has been my new job (actually the same job title and pay but a new division) and then the larger part will probably have to be church "drama"...&n...

I'm done!!!
(Preview)
Well, almost. I finished all but a 500-word essay of my Berean coursework that the district told me I had to supplement my degree with to get credentialed (I went to a non-A/G Christian college, so I was missing some courses on the Holy Spirit, lol!).
All I have left is the BIG test this month and...

I have some comments and questions for those of you who actually work at the church office as I do...(I know some of you are highly involved pastor's wives, yet you do not work FT in the church office.) But I would like to ask this of those of you who are pastors, or PW's who are involved in the day to da...

Party Crasher - how do I handle it?
(Preview)
Okay, it's like this. We have a guy at our church (same who I referred to in an earlier post about begging for money, with no real need to) who crashes events he is not invited to. Several times at the church, he has been asked to leave. For instance:
