Very, VERY insightful, honest and true. I love that you don't jump on the oh-the-economy-is-so-bad-everything's-going-to-heck bandwagon. I think this season is a great one... if not an uncomfortable one. What did you mean when you wrote "Now many churches in America, just like a lot of companies, are cutting more than fat; they’re cutting to the core. Ready or not, the necessity of increased volunteerism is here. This is tricky for a lot of churches because they’re used to a level of quality they hired to achieve. That quality is some of what attracted a lot of people in the first place." Do you think we should look for lower quality now that our churches employ more volunteers? Sam, loves this post today!!
