Thankful that I am no longer required to attend any meetings.

I'm not technically required to either, as I hold no official leadership position at my current church. However, they often invite me to come as they value my wise counsel.

I don't attend the ones I'm invited to either
 
I'd love to find some way of getting out of Board meetings. I don't actually mind leading the FFCE Team - I meet with the Junior Church people if they need to, I have the odd meeting of the adult ed group, and I run VBC planning meetings. Mainly I try to stay on top of curriculum while spending minimal funds.

But I HATE the monthly Board meeting. I'm bored and irritable and I find it difficult to hide it, which I'd like to do, because I like these people; I just don't like going to meetings with them. At work, I can tell them to stop f***ing around and get to the point; it's rather harder to do that and maintain holy manners.

Also, LAST.
 
Mom and I are watching our old VHS movies and deciding what to keep and what can go...started watching "Dr. Zhivago" - the more things change, the more they stay the same.

LAST but there are other good points in this post.

I was worship committee chair for a while and had to attend Board meetings. I didn't enjoy them at all and found there was little room for the perspective I tried to bring. Not that it was unwelcome, just that there were so many concerns re: finance and property that these issues tended to dominate. At the time it made me think the old model of "stewards and session" had a lot going for it.

When I was chairing worship, the fellowship had a Board-Council structure and I was on Council but it was an extra meeting. Now, worship reports to a board Living Tradition rep who also oversees RE and (I think) social justice and chaplaincy.
