How NOT to invite someone into Ministry

Equipping Team presentation to the Congregation

August 8, 2010

Alice: You remember the Equipping Team from last week. This morning they’re going to show us one way to invite someone to serve at church.

(Mark, Todd and Rob are involved in conversation.)

Mark: We have GOT to get someone to serve as president of this congregation. The congregation meeting is next Sunday!

Rob: I know. I had ten people on my list to call. TEN! Would you believe they all said no?

Mark: Hey, here comes Herb. If we work together, I bet we can get him to say yes.



(Mark and _Rob approach Herb…big smiles…hands out stretched.)

Rob: Hey, Herb, it’s been a long time! How ya been doin’, buddy?

Herb: Not so good. Things are crazy at work.

Mark: Oh, yah things are crazy all over. I guess we just have to be happy we have jobs, huh?

Rob: Say, Herb, the three of us have been talking and we think you’d make a GREAT president for our congregation.

Mark: For sure! We all agree…you’re the man, man!

Herb: I don’t know. I’ve only been a Christian for about two months. I don’t know anything about this church. I wouldn’t know what to do.

Todd: Hey, there’s nothing to it! You lead the Board of Directors meeting each month and the congregation meeting once a quarter and Tim Eickstead always makes out the agenda and all you have to do is read it. You can read, can’t you?

Herb: Well, yeh, but I don’t know…

Todd: Listen, the Board of Directors’ meeting is tomorrow night.

Herb: is there a job description?

Todd: You mean something written down? (Herb nods) Man, this is the church. We’re not a Fortune 500 company. You come to the meeting. We’ll tell you what to do.



(Judy holds up a sign that reads: THE NEXT NIGHT.)

(Karen holds up a sign that reads: BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING)

(Kris holds up a sign that reads: NO HERB)

Pastor Ron: (looking a watch) It’s well past our starting time. Where’s Herb?

Mark: I don’t know. (in a frustrated voice) You’d think he’d be on time for his first meeting!

Pastor Ron: We’re going to have to get started. I need at least an hour for My State of the Congregations address.



(At this point Herb comes in hesitantly, looking around)

Herb: Is this the Board of Directors’ meeting? (Group nods; several board members say yes, sure is etc.) Thank goodness! I’ve been all over this campus looking for you guys.

Pastor Ron: Glad you finally made it. Why don’t you go ahead and open the meeting with a prayer?

Herb: A prayer????

As the Board files off stage:

(Judy holds sign reading: Herb’s goose is cooked)

(Karen holds a sign reading: Herb leaves the Board)

(Kris holds sign reading: Herb leaves the congregation)



(Judy holds sign reading: Herb was never seen again)

(Gals each hold a different cared: THE BOARD DIDN’T KNOW WHY
