If you trust him to be your pastor and feel that he loves you, why wouldn't you want him to know where you are and that everything is ok. So that he is not up on the platform trying to concentrate on getting his sermon together wondering if you're in a car accident or something.

This is all relative to how large the church in question is. Trust me, my pastor would not want to be bothered every time someone misses church!
