The first time my husband was bishop (lay minister) in our church, he had a very large congregation and he was determined to personally meet the needs of every member. After a while, we started to feel neglected so I decided to bring our feelings to his attention. I wrote the letter.
Dear Bishop:
There is a family in your congregation who needs your help.
Their address is (our address).
Sincerely,
(My name)
I stamped the envelope and put it in the mail. It got his attention and he realized we needed his attention as much, if not more, than anyone else. He started to learn the art of delegation and we didn't feel as neglected after that. I never had to write another letter.
