It was meant to be easy
I contend that from the beginning, the Garden in Eden, there was work for God's world, but it was not meant to be difficult. It was meant to be a joy in God's place and God's service.
For us, after the Fall and Eden, the Christian life is still meant to be a joy and not a burden. If there is an activitity and a group of people won't run it and do the hack work then don't do it yourself. I doubt that its really God's plan, if He has not provided a group to do it, not just the leading but also the setting up and the putting away.
I and you don't have to do everything, or a huge amount one day we won't be there. And in my old age I'm slowing down, doing less and entitled to do less.
At risk of being accused a cynic, I contend that there are many 'empires' and egos to be maintained in the churches. I have also be fairley popular, ah! the phone calls when someone wants something set up, swept up, money collected, tables lifted, or chairs put away. So rarely has anyone asked me my opinion.
Keep resisting doing too much, and being too busy.
