I am a 66 YO woman that has played organ and piano for the church since I was 11 yrs old. We got a new pastor last June.I knew from the start he did not like me.There were 5 of us women, rotating Sundays, to play for church services.For many, many years I was the sole pianist/organist.There is a Berean church right across the street from me, so occasionally I visit there,when not playing at my home church-the Methodist.A week before Christmas, I visited there, and it was a wonderful worship service. I posted on Face book how awesome it was, and was only praising the Berean church.next thing I get a text from the Methodist pastor, telling me it was inappropriate and that he was removing me from the schedule to play for services.I have always been very involved in the methodist. I grew up there, my mother was church secretary, she, my Gma, and myself taught Sunday school classes and Vbs. I sang in the choir, and sang many solos, played for many weddings and funerals.After he removed me and said what he did, he blocked me, so I couldn’t contact him.A younger women that I did not know, found out what he had done and didn’t feel he was being very Christian, so SHE sent him a letter.He also blocked HER.He stripped me of all of my life, my entire family’s lives, of being devoted to that church.I gave freely and never asked for a penny to play,as I always felt that was my way to minister-through my music.I did nothing wrong, only praised the Berean church, and I feel like I am a criminal, being crucified for it.The church I gave my life to and my family,also, and after all these years, I can not longer play there.It broke my heart and took away my life.
