Finding time for all the stuff that churches want you to do?

[The Unforgettable Fire]

For example, our church is doing a feeding the hungry campaign every week. I can't go though because I have work. This is just one example of my lack of participation.

Between work, three kids (and their events), graduate school, helping family members, etc... I just dont have time.

Does anyone else have this problem?

You're paying to feed the poor, right. If so, then why do they want more?

Not a problem.

One can do so much.

Priorities:

1. Relationship with God.
2. Relationship with spouse.
3. Relationship with children.
4. Job
5. Church

Participate when and where you both desire and are able. Feeding the hungry of the world is a nice thing to do, but not a command for the church, but providing for your family is a command. It has to come first.
