Church 'chores' vs. church 'work' ... both essential parts of church ministry
By REV. JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist
With the advent of grass cutting season, watering, and all those extra chores, I thought it would be a good time to point out the differences between church chores and church work. They are often confused. At home we understand. The son goes to work called school, does more work called homework; then, Mom calls out, "Sammy, dear, come do your chores: take out the garbage, sweep the front walkway, and clean up your room." Of course, "cleaning one's room" is an eternal chore for all of us. Mom comes home from work where she puts in 40 hours a week; it's work. She is able to "bring home the bacon" because she works. She helps pay the mortgage so the whole family can have a roof, plumbing, and all those wonderful necessities.
