I have a friend at work, During work, shes very fun to hang around with on breaks,etc… and talk to. We haven’t really hangout outside work.

however she told me that she still hold anger towards her father after years .I told her that its not healthy to hold on to anger like that and she should let go and forgive.

Then I told her that i was going to bring her to my Church on sunday and she agreed. I told her that I was going to call her the day before to confirm because she told me that she works evenings on my weekend off. The church starts at 8 am and finishes at 10:00 am. She starts work at 3 pm so I told he that she has plenty of time.

So I called her Saturday night to confirm on the plans but she never answer her phone and didn’t call me back. When I saw her at work she didn’t bring it up and pretended like nothing happened .should i confront her or let it go

I was told many years ago not to discuss or mention anything remotely related to religion at work.

Well, you told her to let her anger towards her father go. It's not healthy to hold onto that anger.

So follow your own advice and let go of your anger. It's not healthy to hold onto that anger.

And a 2 hour church service? Too long. An hour is plenty long. Also, 8 am may be too early, depending on what she did Saturday night.

Anyway, let it go.

Inviting her to church may have made her uncomfortable. Not everyone is religious or is of your religion and even a lot of religious people don't go to church anymore. She may have agreed to avoid hurting your feelings then wasn't sure how to get out of it, so she ignored you. Not very mature on her part, I agree, but this is a one time thing, so let it go for now. If you want to hang out with her outside of work, try something more neutral like coffee or a movie.

When she "agreed" to go to your church on Sunday, I think she meant more of a "figurative" ok, like yeah...I'll do that sometime...riiiigghht......rather than, OK what time! I will be there with bells on!

It is not your place to "bring her to Church" so let it go.
If she wanted to attend Church she would already be at a Church of her choice.
She probably agreed to go with you just to be nice.

Keep personal business out of the office especially romance and religion.

Man I'd avoid you like the plague. You told her how to feel towards her father then proposed you would fix her by taking her to church with you. You are waaaaaay overstepping your bounds. Next time, listen. Don't judge. Don't fix. That is if you want to make friends...or even be a good Christian.

Did you ask her if she wanted to go, or did you tell her she was going? If you said something along the lines of "you should come to church with me sometime" and she said, "yeah, sure," she probably wasn't that into going in the first place.
