I love conversations that wind up funny when they are not supposed to. Just today we were problem solving and so we were looking for a few people that could take over leadership of the event that was falling apart. One of our staff commented on calling a woman in our church to ask for help and found out she was going through some tough times medically and was going to have foot surgery. So the quote was, "Jill is having foot surgery so she won't be able to step in to help." After a brief moment of realizing what was said, we had a good laugh.
Funny is fun. Not the same when another staff person who makes schedules commented that it is difficult to acquire volunteers for anything at the church, especially a church service that falls on a saturday. "Well what about getting some of the kids who are already in our rotation schedule to carry the candles and cross for this upcoming service?" was the question on the floor. The answer came back, "it's not like I have a pool of people to choose from." Nobody laughed...out loud that is.
And so I learned that apparently all the people that help on Sunday are randomly selected from the congregation. Join us this week for church.
