Curiosity got the best of me. I peeked in the window and noticed that the Piano player was one of our lower tier, fourth string piano players from our church.

It was telegraph, telephone, tell a woman time. I struggled with the urge to call my Pastor and eventually caved into the pressure to spill the beans. I asked him if it would be gossip to tell him who the piano player was down at the new WPF church and he replied in the affirmative. Well, I got around that one by texting him the name of the piano player and asking for forgiveness.

He texted my back and said it spoke more of the scruples of the Pastor of the church prosyletizing from other local churches. Especially this pastor, pastored here 20 years ago and was contacting old saints without even talking to the two local UPC pastors.

If this would have happened to the WPF pastor when he was UPC there would have been uh uh uh to pay.

Anyways, I am wondering what I look like in this deal. Am I a total jerk and gossip? Did I do the right or wrong thing? Should I just let God take care of the situation?

I feel like I should have just kept my mouth shut. But two things motivated me to tell. I am very loyal to whatever church I happen to be going to and I also always thought that this piano player was somewhat of a snob.

So theres the scenario, somebody analyze me.
You ain't right.

Yeah, cause you know God probably still feels like just smacking some upside the head.

I should listen to it again so that when I am tested I don't make the same mistakes you do.


Yes I am all for it. I'll pray it works out.

You are hilarious and so is your situation and the fact that you pray out loud for the "super spiritual" folks!

Re: Snooping on a WPF church

I've found that if it feels like we're gossiping, its usually because... we are.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: Snooping on a WPF church

I hope your pastor isn't mad about one of his regular members being a blessing in another building other than yours. We are all the church and we all belong to God. Hopefully your pastor will use this to bridge the gap between your congregations and not make it wider!
