 Whom do you serve? page 2 by ric gustafson

Pastor Roberts was eating a glazed donut.

D Pikes walked into the workroom and sat down in an open chair. He began to study a register.

" Good morning D". He smiled. " Has the church's financial situation changed for the better?".

" No, our financial situation has not changed". He frowned as he stared at the register. " Offerings are down".

" What would you suggest we do?".

" From a revenue standpoint". He pointed at the register. " An increase in offerings would help".

" How is attendance at our two services?".

" 8:30 is holding it's own". He pointed at the open register. " More attendance at 10:30 would help".

Pastor Roberts stood up and threw away his napkin. " Thank you for your suggestions D".

" Your welcome Pastor". He stood up and put the register under his arm. " Have a good day". He walked out of the workroom.

Pastor Roberts walked back toward his office. " God, please help us with our finances".
