After church today the vicar asked me if I would consider being a church warden as one of the present wardens is retiring. I was rather shocked. At the moment I only go to church about once every 3 or 4 weeks. My immediate reaction is that I don't have the time to do something like this. I've been enrolled on a certificate with work for the past year with the aim of specialising more in the area I am interested. it's only really in the past few weeks that I've finally got round to actually putting the time into this. And I think something like this will make that even more difficult for me. I did ask what kind of responsibilities and commitiments I would have to make and he said that I should think about it first and then talk to one of the present wardens to get an idea of what would be expected of me.
So I think I'm going to have to say no, but I feel bad about that, I hate letting people down.
Is anyone here a church warden or know anything about it?
