Hi. New here! Pretty new to a church. Not knew to church. They said if anybody wanted to go up and get prayed for to do so. I did. I felt so embarassed as I stood there (not knowing exactly where to stand) and nobody came. I feel so embarassed and let down really. I’m already struggling with my faith. I got prayed for but in the end it was rushed because we were finishing. Nobody really spoke to me after. My children LOVE the groups. I cant really let them go in and not go can I. Feel like I would be taking the mick. Do I speak to the church team about it or will they think I’m complaining? My mum goes and enjoys it. She has offered to take them, maybe i should take them up on offer. Any advice appreciated. Please be kind. Feeling a bit sensitive about it all. Emma

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don’t know they asked me to come forward but I felt foolish. Not normally if they ask you to come to front I don’t think.

Could be they're not used to people taking up the offer, could be a number of things.
Maybe mention it to someone sometime, but generally I'd brush it off as best I can.
I may be reading something between the lines that isn't there, but it's definitely not a "leave that place and never go back" thing. Your embarrassment is probably stronger than anything anyone else feels.

Some church leaders have trouble being sensitive. Just forgive them for now. Id keep things going but in the back of my mind I would maybe see if I can find a church whose pastor is a shepherd. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in the service and in exploring alternative options. I traveled lots and have attended 200-300 churches. Some churches dont fit right too because God has a better place. Reasons might include doctrine, relationships, growth and leadership. Just know you are an important piece in the body of Christ and God will certainly help you find your way.
