I guess this is more a question to fellow Pastors regarding Sunday mornings...
I often wonder if I am doing the right thing before a service on a Sunday morning. There is a small prayer gathering right before the service, but I find that is the time most of the congregation are arriving and it is the perfect opportunity for me to stand near the door, greet and converse with a wide range of people.
I understand the importance of dedicating our services to God, and the essential need for dependent prayer, but as the Pastor I feel it's too worthwhile to greet and talk with people than to not be visible and present by sliding into another room to pray. I admit feeling torn though... and wonder if my own personal prayer and reflection of a Sunday morning is enough.
So what do you do? How do you balance it?
