Theology on the Lighter Side – The challenges of working with church members on programs and projects.
A church choir director was having a hard time getting the choir to sing together. No matter how hard he tried, they always seemed off-key and out of sync. One Sunday, the choir was particularly bad, and the director became frustrated.
After the service, an elderly man approached him and said, “I know what your problem is, son. You need to put a little honey on the end of the stick and the birds will come to you.” The director was confused and asked, “What does that mean?” The elderly man replied, “It means you need to put a little something sweet in your voice, and the choir will sing like angels.”
Dealing with volunteers of any kind can be like herding cats. This is especially true when love, grace, and compassion are to be the hallmark.
