Hello friends and readers! Just got back from vacation. We traveled to Michigan to see my youngest daughter and her family. Sherri and I really needed a little time away to refresh and recharge. My daughter truly has the gift of hospitality. It is a pleasure to visit her, although our visits seem too short.
While away I put the finishing touches on a Top 10 List I had been working on. Keep on reading to learn the Top 10 Discoveries Made Around the Church Office:
10) Pastor miffed that the Modern Music service does not feature his favorite contemporary song, "Kumbaya."
9) Office computers still function poorly even when upgraded to Windows '98.
8) Church custodian feels taken advantage of when told to wax the fellowship hall floors and the pastor's car.
7) Secretary is fed up having to hum the hymns to the pastor each week because "he can't remember how they go."
6) Pastor discovers there is no place to hide from the church organist.
5) Church staff refuses to call the pastor, "The Sermoninator."
4) The secretary tries to talk the pastor out of his latest outreach idea, "Reverse Offering Sunday," where visitors get to take money out of the offering plate.
3) Pastor blows a gasket when he reviews the Sunday bulletin and finds that the secretary has placed a "sad face" next to Confession, a "happy face" next to Absolution and a "sleeping face" next to the sermon.
2) In order to cut costs, church staff are surprised to learn that the new copier is coin-operated; color copies require a credit card.
And here it is!
1) Pastor complains of one sleepless night after another when unable to get the VBS songs out of his head.
Have a great week!
