Be true to your calling. Remember you represent Christ the Servant. God does not call in isolation. He’s called you to be in this space, at this time, however unprepared and inadequate you may feel. Remember God’s faithfulness, acknowledging it out loud as the congregation may be mourning a loss, angry, or relieved. So don't try to be the person ‘in charge’, but the servant of those who are.
