What to do with church lady who snubs you? by: Anonymous
you have several choices. you can befriend her. she might be shy or she might be intimidated by you. you can invite her out for lunch or coffee. The former comment was pretty harsh. and authoritarian. i wouldn't take that tack. you can also ignore her. have you ever asked yourself why it bothers you so much she ignores or avoids you? not everyone is going to like you. lots of women didn't like me as the pastor's wife. It is one of the "perks" of the job. I found it a blessing being ignored by half the people. Cause, the other half just "fawned" over me and wanted incessant communication and attention. Seriously, I was never so burned out in all my life. I had some pretty serious snubs and I am sure quite a few women even hated my guts. No matter. I was always my wonderful self. You really can't get around some people not liking you. live with it. Part of the job.

HI - the answer is easy. You confront her and ask if she has an issue she'd like to discuss, and if she doesn't, that you have one you'd like to chat about. Ask her why she dishonours the gift ministry in the church, and who exactly she thinks she is, coming to your church which you lead with your husband and being rude to you. We have to get way more confrontational with immature believers - she can't be mature if she acts like this - and if she gets upset and leaves, then her actions give away her spirit and her heart, and you're better off without her. My wife had to do that and it led to us asking a family to go, as their attitude was like a virus starting to spread. If there is no honour of leadership in the house, God cannot bless the House, so you do the whole chruch a favour by confronting this nonsense. You have my support.
