After worship yesterday....
* Note: announcements regarding shared worship through Holy Week have been made in church, newsletter, and power point for at least six weeks.
Me: Good morning! It's lovely to see you!
Other Person: So, you're not doing anything for Holy Week then.
Me: (showing back of worship bulletin) All of the services for the week are listed here, and the vigil sign up sheet still has a few free spaces left.
OP: No. I mean You. *You* aren't doing anything *here*.
Me: As I mentioned earlier, we're sharing services through the week with churches X, Y, Z etc.... The Good Friday service is a Cantata at X and it's going to be really great. All of the churches are taking part.
OP: *shrugs* In other words, nothing here.
Aaaaaaaaand scene.
That's one person who will not be at any shared services. And someone who will NOT be happy about the inevitable changes happening all across the church right now.
And yes......one more soul who actually believes that I only work on Sundays and that this Holy Week is like a week off for me.
That sound you hear is the sound of my head hitting the desk.

There is ALWAYS that one person....
True Mindy, but thankfully it was only ONE!!! Everyone else I spoke with is on board with not only the Holy Week sharing, but the BIG changes as well.
Whew!
Still, there is the occasional need for a head/desk connection.
you mean, you don't just work one day a week?
*SHOCKED EXPRESSION*
Jen, you may want to sit down for a bit and let that news sink in.... *snerk*
I wondered what that sounds was back then - heard it all the way in TX!!
