I went to a church like this once... I felt real "suffercated" so suffercated I ended up going to another church across town. Never could get through to those people that I went home at least 2-3 weekends a month...and that meant I went to church somewhere else.. God forbid.. :

No, no fits or complaints over the pulpit. But maybe showing concern by sitting down and talking to them and praying with them.
Would you find it wrong if a pastor taught on the reason God established the church and the ministry and mentioned the importance of fellowshipping with those of like faith which includes being in church?
or are you just peeved about preachers who use the pulpit to make saints feel bad missing church without a signed doctor's consent?

What you did is very good, Abi. More leadership needs to take the same approach.

Thanks!

How could anyone be sick and tired of church. That's like saying you are tired of eating.

Sick and tired of the church they were going to...not necessarily sick and tired of church
