work and money and experience
been wanting to work at church, gain some experience working in ministry, see what its like, stuff like that. although, when i finished school i sort of lost the drive to want to work in church (actually i dont really want to work at all, but i should :P)
previously, i was content with pretty much anything, as long as it was work in the church office; even admin, even minimal salary. but it seems now im a bit harder to please, maybe because of external factors.
asked the pastors about working in church, ps jenni got back to me and told me they'd meet about it. they took a while to come back, but in the end they asked if i wanted to take over aunty mee eng (admin) as she would be going on long leave (april), and said that if i wanted to learn stuff about ministry, i could go directly to the pastors/elders. [and i kind of feel that is a pathetic attempt at growing people]
so now im wondering if i want to work at church or not, here are my cards:
for:
experience (church admin), ill probably never get a chance to try it again
interaction with pastors, learn how they work
how the church works (although i think this church is too by-the-book)
against:
money, i probably can help my parents out a bit
time, if i take up ame's admin role, i would have alot less time weekends. plus even if i take up a 'part time' ministry role, its as good as full time
mood, im not too keen on it now
oh well. gonna try for PS daiso :P i hear their pay is good
