My town is having Rev Trask day next week. Do you think my church will let me take next Sunday off ?

Sure.  Are we waving as we walk or from the car?

I am a Pastor, and every Pastor I know takes 1 day off every week. We consider that our Sabbath. We are of course available in a life or death situation, but other then that all our calls and everything is taken by somebody else. If you do not have at least 1 day to rest every week then you burn out fast, especially being pregnant. \nIs the Pastor at all these events every day?\nWhy do you need to be at all the events?\n\nTalk to your Pastor about having a Sabbath day rather then a family day.\n\nThe best advice I can give is, talk to God about it, I know He does not want you to burn out, and He can talk to you Pastor with more influence then anyone else can.

I don't know, Rev Trask, but I think you need to get some sleep. Don't let the idiot get you too upset. Some day he'll get his comeuppance from God.

I don't remember the church having a zero tolerance rule, so yeah, they'll probably take ya bac. Question is...do you really want to go?

I will wait for Lord's timing, it does not matter if He comes today or tomorrow or in another thousand years. God shall come, no matter what. And Jesus will come soon to take the Church (His bride) home. That is all the answer I can give, because God's timing is better than my own.

break off from the ritualistsic traditions.\nThe Lord Jesus cant be found there, and Jesus would have no problem marrying you outside and niether should your pastor.

You will be going at a very interesting time, Palm Sunday.\n\nIt is obvious that sunpekes doesn't have a clue about the Catholic Church, but is ready to spread lies.  No admission charges and the offering basket is sent once - if you have something that you would like to contribute, do, if not - don't.\n\nLots of Pomp and Circumstance, but a very beautiful Mass.\n\nThere will be some kneeling and standing, but since you are not Catholic, do not feel that you have to do it (but please do stand for the reading from the Gospel - you will know, it is the first time everyone stands after the procession).\n\nAlso, since you are not Catholic you will not be allowed to go up for the Eucharist, other wise do whatever you want to do.\n\nIf you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact me via my profile.

A Church I would like to see\n\nI don't get excited about being a spectator and hearing only what some elitist has to say ... a paid professional ... a "money changer" so to speak. But that is what churches are these days. I would prefer that everyone brought their own message in their heart and a song on their lips, and that the worship was led by the Spirit, and not by some sheet of paper. So the type of morning worship that I would get excited about is if the clergy kept quiet unless they were either led by the Spirit to speak something and then shut-up right after. So it would be a place where all people could suggest a song, or stand up and share what God has taught them .. and how God has delivered them from evil that week.\n\nI also don't get excited about a church with million dollar building budget. To me, that is sad to see a pristine building with plush landscape in a decapitated neighborhood. What a slander of Christ's message! I would prefer that the church building be the least of the buildings in the community. Does every member and every neighbor have air conditioning? If not, then the church should install it in their house BEFORE they install it in the church. Do all the homes have a new paint job and cut grass? \n\nThis would be a church building that I could really get excited about ... the one that is the least, and the last to be upgraded. Because I know that in that building are people that put themselves last, and they shall be put first by the Lord.\n\nWhen the people are sick of the condition of the church building, or the leaders of the church's homes, then they can just make sure that everyone else around there has it better off, and then do the upgrades to the church properties last.\n\nWe can call it Last Baptist Church in __ (your town here.) Want to come?

People Don't give him grief give him an answer!!!! I suggest going to your old church building on Sunday,(9:00, 11:00 or 1:00) find an old friend and ask them where to go, before you know it you'll be back in the swing of things!! As far as punishment, none, at least that depends on the people of your ward. Some wards are full of real jerks and if you miss one day they stare at you all the time. But we will not hang you by your thumbs or anything like that. the only punishment you really get is the grief that the anti-Mormons on this site will give you, just ignore them they haven't even been to a meeting, they don't know what their talking about.

:}\nOne day of fasting from meat,   Friday to recall good Friday on a weekly basis in the same way that a change of the worship day from the sabbath to Sunday recalls the Resurrection on a weekly basis.

mine is just right. It has the word  of God. I would change nothing. I donot like the mega churches because if you want the concert type worship music, go to a concert.  If oyu're worshipping the lord you do not have to go all out, you can keep it simple, if I would change things about churches I've been to then I would  wish it was more hymnal old fashioned instead of a crazy concert scene.

Consult your pastor would be the best thing I could recommend.

I am sure you can. You should call and talk to the Pastor. Good Luck and God bless your wedding!

I've been married 25 years and the way I got here was by respecting each other and that includes never putting demands in the conversation. We attend a non denominational church and I hear this dilema come up alot from former members of churchs that use guilt to keep their flock. I can't believe what I hear family, friends and even leaders in the church tell people should they decide to attend another church outside their faith.\nI do believe it is healthier for a relationship if you can worship together so I would suggest saying to your spouse that this is your choice but you would be willing to compromise.  I also wouldnt push my church on him though and expect all that guilt and pressure  to simply disappear, it won't.  If alternating isnt possible maybe  you can attend a service at a different time such as Saturday evening service with him and Sunday at your own church alone so your pleasing him and getting what you need in your life also.. Another idea is attending bible study classes or another growth class at your church during the week, keeping involved there and attend Sunday services with him but be honest and tell him your doing this. \nI can see this getting alot more complicated when children come into the picture so pray on it hard and seek council on it from your Pastor.\nFollow your heart because Jesus knows your heart and whatever you decide please don't give up worshiping him.
