I love it when people (jokingly?) say that pastors only work on Sundays.
Oh, how lovely that would be.
Here's this weekend's itinerary. Mind you, Friday is usually my day off:
3:00 Friday, begin Youth Retreat.
Leave retreat at 6:30 and head to wedding rehearsal.
Hopefully get back by 8:30 to continue scheduled Bible Study.
Try to get some sleep with HS youth making all kinds of noise.
Finish up retreat at 11:30 a.m.
Head to graduation party.
Leave party to get back home to prepare for wedding.
Do wedding at 4. Stay for reception and beer!!!
Up for service at 8:00 a.m.
Sunday school at 9:00 a.m.
Worship again at 10:00 a.m.
Head out to Junefeast-- our local agricultural society's main fundraiser where approximately 1/3 of my congregation will be working and the other 2/3 will be attending.
Mind you, none of the above lists the prep time it took to plan all the stuff: 3 retreat Bible studies, 3 retreat worship services, games, Wedding sermon, Sunday Sermon, and Adult Bible study.
Anyone think we pastors don't put in our time just like everyone else?
