so what happens now?

[fishstix]

OK, I prepared the sunday school lesson as asked. When I went to teach it the dry erase board was "missing". I could not find it. Another person in the church found it and I was rebuked for being late. I went to teach the lesson I'd prepared and my pastor said she didn't want to hear it and to teach something else. I did my best to teach what she'd requested. I taught it as it was taught to me. She said "that's it? Tell us more". I didn't know what to say. I testified about a true life event. She said something about I had obviously judged a person, which I had not done, simply shared the gospel with her. She sighed, the sunday school students laughed and giggled and pointed at me. I was mortified. What now? Am I evil for doing my best?

No, you are not evil for doing your best. Likely the only person saying that is yourself. It sounds to me like there was some miscommunication and perhaps a lack of preparation (eg - someone should have made sure the board was there). Consider that you might be misunderstanding your pastor just like she misunderstood you. It sounds like perhaps she was trying to encourage you along in your presentation and maybe it came out sounding more like a challenge than encouragement.

OKAY forgive my first post, it always helps to have the whole story, even though it still seems something is missing.

The Holy Spirit is a gentlemen, If He was involved in your correction, you would never have been embarassed like that, that was so wrong!!!
She should have taken you to the side by yourself, and rebuked you if necessary, then if you didn't recieve, talk to you again with some brothers.
Sound like she made a spectacle out of you, now you will have problems with the children respecting you after that. What was she thinking?
If your teaching is not up to her standards, then she should provide more training!!!
If this happened the way you said, then that pastor was not operating in Spirit and in Truth, and I would have a problem, being under her authority.
Look everyone makes mistakes, and we learn from them.
She should have been greatful to have someone willing to teach, that is hard to find now days. I hope you don't get too discouraged, just learn as much about the word as you can, study to show yourself approved, and I wouldn't be surprised, if you one day, are teacing her, sounds like she has more learning to do!!!!

If this is an accurate portrayal of what happened , then it appears your " pastor " is assuming a role which they're not really qualified to fill .

May The Lord grant you peace and healing .
