Hellish

Hellish is probably the last word a believer would use to describe his church, but at this moment, it's just hellish. 

Can the body of Christ be hellish? Probably not, but dealing with different people is definitely giving my headache and heartache. 

As part of the fellowship committee, we are running this "Fellowship Service" next month and the process has been "hellish".  Planning was stalled for months (at least 3) even though we knew that it was going to happen at the first fellowship committee meeting. We scheduled it over half a year in advance and I can't believe we waited until a little more than 2 months before to start the "actual" planning meetings. It's just a crazy made dash to the finish line. 

I told who was in charge that I would be "busy" in September and so I was told to check out possible sites. Then nothing for a couple of months. It's just irresponsible behaviour.

On serving at church

You don't have to say "Yes" all the time. Mix some 'Nos" in there. Just don't say "No" all the time. Don't become an automatic yesman.
Serve in areas you like and find your gifts.
Remember that you are just another person at church, not a paid staff as some churchgoers might think of you to be. Your parent is the pastor, not you.

Be who you are, what God made you to be, not what churchgoers think you should be.
