I am a leader in my worship group of about 6 couples and most of use have children. There is 1 single lady that her children are grown and moved on and another that is married and there children are grown and moved on also, and they do not feel that they should help in watching the children because they have no children at our group and they have let the group know that they are not watching the children. I have the children present during songs and prayer and then the children go in another room for there lesson and then they come back during the ending prayer. I am just wondering how I should handle this in a GODLY way. We meet once a week on Thursdays. It has been brought to my attention from several group members that they feel they should particapate in watching the children also. Thank You and GOD BLESS.
@ackyles it seems to me that if they don’t want to do it, they probably shouldn’t. Especially when it comes to kids. Personally, and I might be wrong, I think you should talk to each of them individually and ask them if they want to help, if they do, great! If they don’t, that’s fine too. Make sure they know how to get in touch with you if they change their mind.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about volunteer work it’s that forcing someone to do something that their heart isn’t into is never beneficial. It creates tension and stress that often spills over into other aspects of life.
Just my two cents.
