Angels - Part 2
"This poem is about a couple that contributes in so many different ways, both inside and outside the church."
Someone said to me, "I have a question for you, What, if anything, does your associate pastor do?" Well, he does a couple of things, maybe even three Why don’t we take a look and then we will see.
He teaches and sometimes preaches and does drama too He takes care of who uses the building and how they do He plans, he directs and he is good with a tool Fixes things, runs the projector and directs Sunday School.
He’s part of each team - worship, teach, reach and care And if you need him, rest assured he’s always right there. He wears many hats well and believe me that’s the truth Sings with Herndon Town Singers and involved with the youth.
He collects the eggs, milks the cows and feeds the sheep Does all these chores and even more with nary a peep. Works with the deacons, sings with the band, and drives the bus Maybe not the egg and cow thing, but he sure feeds sheep . . .us.
Now he’s not alone in his work in this God’s house He has a beautiful and talented partner who is his spouse A real dedicated worker for God, on her we really do dote She’s our music minister and a real lady of note.
Her presence lifts our spirits higher and higher As she plays the organ, leads the singing, and directs the choir She’s in charge of communication and does that job well Besides leading a group that rings a meal bell.
Always working harder than she really oughta Still plans and directs cantata after cantata. Undaunted by the myriad of tasks Always has time for whoever asks.
She’s a leader, a planner, a director, and that’s not all She makes all the banners that cover our sanctuary wall. Sings with the Herndon Town Singers amid all the fuss Works with the kids, holds retreats . . . oh yes! She drives the bus.
Now it has been said and much more that twice When they came to us we got two for one price That analogy misses the point quite a lot There’s so much, much more that we got.
One very important thing before this message ends The very best thing that we got . . . is two very good friends!
