Evie, here are my two cents:

First, always pray before you respond. God doesn't want you to burn out doing His work.

Also, REMEMBER THIS: When you say "NO", you give someone else an opportunity to say "YES". The person who said "YES" now has the opportunity to draw closer to their church community. Just think of all the people you've been robbin' of a closer walk with thee. [Razz]

Now you can say "NO" without feeling guilty. Think about the opportunity you are giving to others.

I'm not being facetious.

All of us have God-given gifts. Before saying "YES" to church work we should be certain we have the specific gifts required to carry out the task. If we do, then we should feel joyful while doing our church duties.
