want to attend church service 2mor but...

[Mumlikeu]

I have my 6yr old son. There is no one that can have him. I dont drive and i dont know how much a cab will be tommorow. Also it will be late returning home. I dont know if it will be fair on my son. But i do know, I want to be in the house of God tommorow. It has been an awesome year for me and i dont want to end it home alone.
But i have to use wisdom also. I am aware of the situation that i have a little boy whose bed is 8.30. And even if he does stay up late what do i do with him after service.

If im honest it upsets me that people at church dont even ask those with kids and without cars if they need lifts. I dont want to be a burden to anyone. And i also dont want to have an atttidue that im owed anything. But... yet agin. I really want to be at church tommorow.

Advice pls.

Many thnaks in advance

Why can't DS go to church with you? Surely he won't run about scraming or talk through the prayers.

Is it about travel arrangemnts, sorry I am not quite clear what the problem is?

he comes church with me. Its more to do with the fact it will be past midnight when service will be over. And im concerned of how i will get him home.

Ah right didn't realise it was the late night service you were talking about.

How would you get home if it was just you going?

Is there an evening service you could go to?

PIL would much rather go to the Cristmas eve watch night service but as they want to take the kids with them they go to the 7pm service instead.

the trains are running. If i had someone to watch him i could go. But as you know nye everyone has plans.

The service starts at 9 and runs shortly over mid night.

I know many ppl will take their kids but would hvae arranged a friend to give them lift etc. ItS OK. There are times we just cant do certain things.
I just want to...

Maybe ask about a lift, but also offer to help them with something else at some stage so you don't feel you're being any burden to the church?

Could you phone your vicar/pastor and ask him/her if he knows anyone who can help you with transport.?

Your vicar might know someone who could babysit.
Just a thought.....

I hope you get the problem sorted. If you can't get to the church service tonight, don't worry you and your son are not alone, God will be with you.
(Who knows perhaps God wants you stay at home????)

Sorry for rambling answer but am half asleep still.

You're not being a burden to people if you need a lift. Most people are happy to give a lift if someone needs one. Its not always obvious that people need lifts though, or even if they do, that they'd welcome the offer.

Speak to the vicar, he may know someone who can help out
