It happened in 1983 at the "Immaculate Mary" Catholic church in Afragola, Naples, Italy. Locals filled the Church on that Christmas day, with people standing in every available area inside and outside the building.

I noticed I was the only person seated in a row of benches stretching from one end of the Church to another when I turned to face the entrance. I realized I was the lone black boy as I gazed. The Reverend Father then started whining and chastising people for standing, which I overheard.

Please don't laugh.... I remember so many years ago in church, it was a vigil. I was sleeping and the next thing I heard was "come out"....

I came out and everyone was laughing, it was then I knew that those that were asked to come out, were those who are pregnant, and those expecting the fruit of the womb... I was so embarrassed...

My seat became far from the pulpit, in my mind.. Fada lurd let the ground just swallow me. Kai.

This is not bad.
In my church you can come on behalf of someone.

Mine happened in 2018, I attended Christ embassy then, it was a partnership Sunday.(if you go to CE you would understand how there is always target and something to give for, seriously that church fit reck person financially)
So have the collection of the partnership offering the pastor observed that many people didn't participate.

The next thing I heard was if you know that you didn't give partnership today stand up. I did,( thinking that he was going to encourage us to give next Sunday) next thing I heard those of you that paid your partnership, hold the hands of those that didn't pay theirs and pray for them.

It so happened that the lady that prayed for me was someone I knew, I felt so embarrassed. I was so embarrassed, I felt like the less privileged. That was the last time I went there

grin
And I thought CAC pastors and evangelists were the meanest when it comes to fleecing church members of their hard earned money. . Since the 90s, you no pay peren, na shame be your own.

It was during one of the canonical visitation by our then bishop,I bought a digital camera then and wanted to take photos of our bishop, wasn't good at using the camera,the first time I went to take his picture, Bishop posed very well for me to take his picture,I was flashing him the camera without knowing that my fingers were covering the lens, Bishop waited till after church when he was going out with other clergy men and I went to take his picture again still covering my camera lens,Man gave me correction by giving me the biggest knock of my life on my head before the whole congregation, whatever desire that I had to become a photographer was killed that very moment being an introvert and having to find myself in such awkward situation with almost all the church members looking at me,even my bestie then laughed generational wickedness out of me.Odili Okeke, your correction was too harsh on innocent me.

That was in 2018. I attended a baptist church sunday sch in Ibadan,out of nowhere I was signified to give the closing prayer. I was totally dumfounded,but I managed to stand up to pray,but alas,I kept on stammering to d extent even I struggled to hear what I was saying. People weren't even saying Amen they couldn't hear jack of what I was saying. After d prayer i shamefuly opened my eyes and d glances on people's face towards me said it all.

Since then I went to learn how to pray and I've improved now.

Night vigil or vigil was the problem!

My neighbour never preached to me because he knew i was a Muslim but when he noticed that i started listening to Jehovah's Witnesses and studying the Bible with them he decided to invited me to come to their church vigil.
I never knew that's how mosquitoes feast on the blood of people who comes to worship God so when these gigantic pests came i couldn't do anything throughout that night i kept checking my watch for the time i will go back home to treat myself. Everything the Baba Abiara was saying seems like noise to me as i couldn't concentrate with hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes as big as flies were feasting on people's blood. I killed few but my shirt was condemned as the bloodstains stick to my white shirt never to be washed away.
That was the first and last vigil i attended all my life! undecided
Hahahahahahaha... Was the vigil held in the jungle? cheesy

When I was little, while in the main/adult church i got corrected by an usher to sit in a different position. I was furious, responded by pointing the middle finger to him, and I said Bleep YOU.


Long story short, the ushers took me upstairs and make sure the knocked the middle finger, which i used with cane, till I cried my self a river.

This life no hard, na people dey make am hard. If God wants everybody to be Muslim or Christian, HE has the power to do that.

This is impossible unless God makes us like animals that can't think out of the box of food, sleep and mating, as long as we have brains and can think the only way God can make us worship Him in unity is the true religion that's what Jesus came to establish! John 17:22

Re: What Is The Most Embarrassing Situation That Has Happened To You In Church? by valETA1(m): 11:56am On Apr 23, 2023
I love this topic, so i'll now pour out the reason I lack appetite going to my church, even though am yet to find another.

Fast forward to my final year, having been very active in politics ( L.G.A student congress) from onset, while also being fully qualified based on rotation that was clearly my village's turn, and experience wise. I was appointed by our then L.G chairman as a Congress chair.

This particular role never deterred me from God's service in the church. Infact as a committed usher I was one of the very few who would happily work in the sanctuary, help out in the media if called etc.

There came a particular day, we had an all night, it was also one of my busy days where I do comeback very late, like 12:30 to 1am, because of having to meet with my LG chair, who so much loved calling for meetings at odd hours.

I returned back home tired, infact I never wanted going to church that night, but since it was like a tradition in my compound that every last Friday of a month, if u don't have a church, surely u'll remain alone in the compound, because everyone will go to their church for all night.

So. I gathered myself to church, appearing with our uniform for the night. While at church at around past 12, I felt very sleepy and tired, it done on me that I wouldn't be able to work.

I approach our director, I requested that he permits me to go sleep, when Pastor mounts the pulpit by 2, I'll then resume, since we had such provisions or choice to work b4 or when Pastor mounts the pulpit.

Right in front of the church, with a lot of eyes, and how popular I was in church, due to the fact that I was one of the youngest in a department full of married men and women, my director threw bottles of water at me while abusing me.

To God who made me, I have never been embarrassed, even when I knew am the type of person that can't be forced to work, not even my Pastor can, let alone him, as if I came to church for him, knowing fully well my commitment to that same role is unquestionable and even immeasurable to his, even when I can't judge their notice-me kind of attitude.

I left the church that night looking totally abused, on my way going back I decided to join a church where same all night was going on, make e no b say devil get plan d night.

My reason of not going back to that church wasn't because the director abused me, it was when after like 3 Sundays no show in church, no one from the Usher, none from other departments, not even the assistant pastor who is the overall Director of all departments called find out, or asked or at least care why, I put a full stop.

To conclude, my observation in church is that, Well to do persons with bad home training, with no human sympathy, hypocrites and ill will towards commitment in same church, are reasons the willing ones aren't at God's service.
