Mini-Quiche, Fondue Fountains, and Volunteers

Bookmark and Share

We did a little volunteer appreciation dinner at Ebz last night. Way too much fun. Our staff donned waiter's garb and showed our appreciation to our ministry volunteers by serving them dinner. I was the hors'deurves tray man. I throughly enjoyed saying, "Can I interest you in a mini-quiche" about 150 times!

By the way, is hors'deurves the hardest word in the English language to spell? It has to rank right up there!

The food was great. We served Bucca Di Bepo. And we even had a chocolate fondue foundation with fresh fruit for dipping! That's what I'm talking about.

We played a little ministry feud. And a few of us did a new rendition of Lean on Me. Let's just say that we won't be trying out for American Idol anytime soon. But one of the ways to show gratitude is by making a complete fool of yourself. Mission accomplished.

Pastor Joel was the mastermind behind the evening. So I can't take any credit. But it is so cool to see our creativity expressed not just in branding sermon series or producing videos. It is really cool to see our creativity expressed in the way we show appreciation.

I really think every church owes their volunteers a fun, entertaining, heartful appreciation dinner of some sort every once in a while.

What a night! Nothing feels as good as serving others!

For some reason I always pegged you as a mini-quiche man. Metro-quiche-able.

BTW... woke up this morning and watched your "Baptism by the Bay" video from: http://theaterchurch.tv/media/video/evotional/flash/

I just love that video. Must watch it once a month just for inspiration.

Question... do you have any thoughts on getting baptized more than once or rededication? I was baptized at age 13 but I almost want to do it again just to recommit myself and my life.

You're right, PM. hors d'ouvres is the hardest word to spell.
