Surely if you have more people that is needed, ie, you've doubled up on some instruments, it could be run like most Sunday league football teams? If you don't turn up for training, you don't play at the weekend! And as he'd not bothered with rehearsals...

My feeling exactly, he's never asked if he could come along let alone asked me if I was ok with it, just bad manners imo

I recall someone in the BC community (can't remember who) saying something like "if you're going to play in a worship group, do it for spiritual reasons rather than musical ones, otherwise you'll be conflicted".
Having said that, I'm with the OP on this. "Community" also means asking " would it be OK if...?" or "do you think it would work if...?". Not just turning up!

again totally agree. thanks for all your input guys, I feel a bit better about stopping him playing this sunday now.
I'll report back when I see what happens on the day
