Not being allowed to serve at church

I'm not really sure how to feel about this. Part of me feels like i deserve it and the other part feels like its not right. My worship pastor told me i can't sing at the new multisite or any ensembles till after i have the baby cause they don't want to send the wrong message. I can't be a greater either. I don't see how hiding me till after the baby is going to change anything people will still see the baby. If anything now i just feel more ashamed disappointed and embarrassed at church. I'm 30wks and they are just now telling me all this. I love my church but i think it might be time to find another one :(

Are you married? When I was pregnant with my first child the church acted like they didn't want me to come back because I had a child out of wedlock

Kristen, with all respect, what do you feel deep down in your heart is the right thing to do next.
We can tell you many things, but at the end of the day you want to do your Heavenly Fathers will, because you love Him.

I go to a Baptist church. I wasn't raised in church and have only been going here a year and a half So i guess that adds to my not understanding. Idon't understand how it'll be ok after i have the baby other than its not as obvious but than isn't that just being fake?  Isn't that just lying to the people and sining more?

Why are they acting up like you are disgrace?
This is another reason I stopped going. I am happier not going to church

I think it depends on the situation no sin is allowed in the pulpit so if your heart hasn't been given to the lord then i would agree with the pastor but it has to do with being saved not pregnant. I don't know your situation and the church policies because some churches are in a organization and there are rules like you cant hold any position if you use tobacco products some might feel its crazy but that's the rules. I would think if i would want to go to a church that is like this or not at my church its a private organization so our pastor makes all decisions but his number one focus is being saved first and having sex before marriage is wrong but what was done after that is a different story
