Let’s face it. A lot can go wrong with scheduling.
- People forget to sign up for equipment or rooms, often resulting in duplicated needs, leaving you scrambling to figure something out.
- People arrive at meetings late or don’t show up at all, even though planned well in advance with reminders sent.
- People cancel out of their ministry responsibilities, sometimes with little or no notice.
These scheduling woes can make it a very frustrating leadership task. It’s especially grievous when the same person repeatedly leaves you in a lurch.

1) Maintain a holy integrity.
2) Respond with grace AND truth.
3) Put the focus where it belongs.
