Pretty good read here. Now, as a pastor who worked in ministry full-time for a long time I must say that protecting days off is important. However, remember that your volunteers are working outside of their "day job" to help you out...so figure that one out! Read the last paragraph for sure. One thing to know is that people like to be appreciated and celebrate success, and that doesn't mean lining up in the front of a church for a clap of hands or a list in a newsletter. Jesus turned water into wine, the Man knows how to party. Relax and enjoy life churches!!!
