I'm in ministry, on holidays and it's a Sunday. I face a dilemma...
Do I go to church? Which church do I go to? One where I'm known, or one where I'll be anonymous?
It's interesting that often those up the front of church stress the importance of service attendance, but when they have holidays, they toss up whether to attend themselves. We are tempted by the same option to "have the week off" which irritates us when our congregation members do it.
It's odd that we would not see the amazing opportunity to just sit in a church service and be fed, not needing to "be on." To my advantage, I have my home church nearby. I can turn up, feel comfortable, welcomed and (importantly for my point tomorrow) recognised.
