We experienced exactly this in our last church. Member ship was dwindling and we had no Evangelism program. Pastor asked my wife to update our church’s brochure and we talked about either mailing them to members of the community or possibly hand delivering them. When we presented the brochure to the council some of the member went off on my wife and called her an embarrassment to the church! My wife was the council secretary and I was both an Elder and the choir director. We both resigned our positions that evening and left the LCMS.
