Our Pastor serves in 2 different churches. He and his wife have young children. His wife decided to not attend our church and any of our ladies activities. Our ladies are very sad she has chosen to go to the other church and no longer be a part of our church. Any suggestions as to how we can encourage her? We miss her not being a part of our fellowship and ministry!
Thank you for your question. If her husband is pastoring two different churches, then she should make endeavors to support him in both places. This might include attending women's events. Having said that, she cannot be expected to attend all women's events at both places, especially with family responsibilities.
It would be wise to go to her, perhaps with her husband too, and ask if there are reasons why she is no longer participating. There maybe underlying reasons she hasn't shared. Encourage her to come and express your love and care for her.
For the Master,
Susan J Heck
