Church and money

I am a simple Christian, so love my Lord, and am a Presbytery Elder, and I have some money worries – well not me personally, but I am wrapped in a blanket in my lounge right now!

My anxiety is about how much our Church is spending. We are disciples of Christ, our Leader and The Living God yet we are spending so much money to make our new Radical plans work – we are asking Elders and members of the congregation to step up and lead worship – and I will, AND I do not want paid, because to serve my Lord is an honour and a JOY!

This all began because we did not have the money, or the servants to serve Him – are we doing something wrong? I wonder why people around us are not going to His Church anymore? Jesus called His disciples 2000 years ago – why I ask myself is He not calling them today? What are we doing that is wrong?
