I am doing lights for a church play tomight, I've never done it before, my instructor will not be there. this all would be fine but the people doing the play made me really uncomfortable by asking me if I'd ever done it before and I said no, then they were like"well alot of people have put alot work into this play" if they start riding me tonight cause I mess up, should I just tell them off and walk away, or should I just let them ride me?

They're probably nervous about their play, but it isn't a very smart & thoughtful reaction from them! Just try to ignore them, YOU felt like you'd be fine before they started off making you insecure, well if you know you can do it then you can! Go early enough to set everything up but not so early you're sitting there for hours only getting more and more nervous. Then just do it, I'm sure your instructor has confidence in you! Good luck!

Lights such as keeping the lights on them? If so it wouldnt hurt to go to the church before the play ( I would go a day or two before ) and mess with the lights. I have never been to a church but I will assume their lights are not all that different from school lights. There are 2-3 different types of light. One is for the spot light (stays pointing at the middle of the stage) and there is another that can move (left to right...up and down) and can go from a spot light to a wider area of light (think of a decent flash light) ...cant remember what the third one is but those are your two main ones.

It is inappropriate and rude for actors to give other actors (or the volunteer lighting folks) "notes." These should only come from the director.
You can reply with, "Thanks for your good wishes. I'm sure we'll all do well."
Or if you really want to crank them off, say, "Good luck to you, too." "Good luck" is one of those backstage superstitions that one is supposed to avoid, and replace it with "break a leg." :o)
You get your directions from the director. That is their job.
