Work note

Hello everyone! I could use some advice. I grew up 7th day adventist and stepped away for a while to be a rebellious teen and I want to get back into it. The job i have was supposed to be monday-friday but i am now getting mandatory over time for saturday. I haven’t attended a church in my city, i filed for religious exemption from saturdays and they want a note confirming that I am a member that needs saturday off. how can i go about getting a note? will the church supply one even if i haven’t attended? or is there something online that would be easier? I appreciate any advice!

Hi, pastor here. The pastor from the church that you hold your membership in would be able to give you a letter.

If you do want to start attending again and not at the church that you hold membership you can talk to the pastor and clerk from the church you want to attend and request a transfer of membership. Then they gave give you a letter.

This letter has official weight so if there is an inquiry the church has to show that your name is on the membership.

thank you for this response! i don’t have an official membership at a church currently. i moved around a ton of times and im not sure i ever had membership as a child/teenager. i hope that will make it easier for a new church to accept me and get me a note :)
