How do you handle Busy Season and church.

I don’t always make all church activities that I would make during non-busy season time (activities outside of Sunday morning service) but I never compromise on Sunday morning service. I gently inform my partners that I will not work Sunday mornings for religious purposes.

I’ve never had pushback. People are generally respectful of it.

When I was a staff at EY I never had a problem w keeping the sabbath (SDA here) and church attendance as long as I communicated with my teams from the beginning. I was located in the times sq office and would inform my teams that I needed to leave early from the office/client site every fri evening to get home in time to welcome the sabbath. I also never worked from fri sunset to Saturday sunset as the Bible instructs regarding the sabbath. Never had push back at all as I held firm in principle and at the slightest notion of pushback I always prayed to God that i would never let a job dictate my worship. I was also on a couple teams w a Mormon bro in Christ that was a senior manager and he never work sundays bc of his faith. Everyone knew ab his situation and didn’t question it.

Be real w God as he’s real w you!

SDA here as well! So far I have not had to work on Sabbath Day yet. I'm sure when that time comes I'll be working on leaving.

It’s definitely tough. I also have never budged on Sunday service. I got a little bit of pushback last year but I got my work done the first Sunday that we worked so after that no one brought it up again. My church also uploads services online so for Ash Wednesday for example, I’ll just watch service later in the evening

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?

I used to be really bad about not prioritizing my prayer life. But now I pray & talk to God all the time. I’ve seen what prayer does-it can change the trajectory of your life. God tells us to make our prayers & petitions known to Him & to pray without ceasing. What happens when we pray is absolutely incredible.The Holy Spirit within us interprets our groans & our prayers to our advocate Jesus Christ who petitions God the Father on our behalf. The perfect triune God hears my prayers and yours!
