i have been playing for this church for a little over a year,iam new to everything,i never have played for a church before,but anyway my question is,i have so many i really dont no where to start.the church was invited to be the guest choir at another church,one of the choir members
was on to do a solo.which is the pastor wife,she started singing and was going to play behind her,and she shook her head no,she didnt look back or nothing but i new was she was trying to say.so i just stopped playing
it made me feel real bad,i feel like she want give me a chance to ,do whatever i can to try to help,i wanted to say something to her,but it probaly wouldnt have mattered anyway.she hardly come to choir pratice so that we could,at least go over some of the solos she does sing,i would like to no if i should say something to her or not.i have other question also so am just going to go down the line.
1.is the musican in charge of the choir?or is the president of the choir?or the deacon over the choir?
2.i needed a choir director,and so i asked several people,and no one wanted to do it,so the lord sent someone and i asked her,would she like to try to do it and she agreed,but the choir,didnt fwant any parts of it,is it there decission?
3.the choir had this rule,if you dont come to choir rehersal,yoou dont sing that sunday.if you only have about 5 or 6 choir members and only 3 show up for choir rehersal do you think,that the other ones who didnt come should sing?
4.i am on the edge of giving up,at first when i started,i did everything to try to make sure everything was right,every where the choir had to be i was there,i even quit my job to focus more of my attention on my music.
but for the last month and a half,i just dont care,i started back working even on the sundays,i didnt have to play,before that i was there even if i didnt have to play,i play every sunday except for one.i feel like if the choir dont want to do right why shoul i worry about it,i cant get half of them to come to rehersal,even though they live right at the church,when i have to drive about 75miles alltogether to get there,i have been finding excuses to cancel choir rehersal,i went this past saturday,and this is another thing,after choir rehersal,they told me that they was the guest choir at another church and if i would be able to go,at first i said iam not going to be able,because i had to be at work at 300pm which was the truth
so i tould them that i would go that i would call and tell them that i would be about 2 hours late,so get home check my messages,and the lady thats
over the lady that i was private sitting for,called and said that she has passed away,do you feel like the lord is trying to tell me something,i have
never been the type of person to do evil for evil,but enough is enough
my moma told me that i shouldnt have went back to work,she also told me that,you just keep doing your best,and dont worry about those people
they are the kind of people of dont care in my oppion how they sound at
there own church,but when they have to go somewhere else they love to show out
thanks for listeing i just had to vent,nuch more where that came from
any replies would be greatly appreciated
