[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have stopped attending church because I can't bear the obligations that come with it. I am stretched thin right now and feel like I am hanging on by a thread. But when I put the kids in the daycare/bible school during the service, I then get endless emails asking me to sign up to teach a bible lesson/volunteer. They send soand emails, saying they are in a bind. 
I get it. They need volunteers. You can't just take and not give. I am always someone who volunteers. But we are having quite the rough patch. We are headed to divorce. It's awful. 
I tried just not putting the kids in, and keeping them in the service, but the 2 year of was noisy and no one else keeps their kids in there. 
My husband will NOT volunteer and does not care how many times they ask. The emails, though, come only to me, of course. 
So I just stopped going. 
And I wish I didn't have to, cause I do need it right now. [/quote]

Go to most any Catholic Church. A bazillion people shuffle in and out of services, no pressure to volunteer but you could.
Odds are even if you wanted to you'd have to wait to be worked in as a volunteer.

Or, just spam folder the volunteer notes? [/quote]
