I know that having 2 pastors preparing a sermon each week seems unfeasible; however, I think it would be advantageous for some of the lay persons to step up and acquire some of the other responsibilities that may be handled now by clergy. Although my participation this past year has been somewhat less than normal, I feel a bit of apathy or maybe lethargy among our congregants. I think we need to be spurred to action once again and maybe this is the opportunity for this to happen.
Response:
. One of the problems with both pastors preaching is not just the Sunday morning schedule, but the yearly preaching schedule. Each pastor has four weeks vacation and an additional four Sunday’s a year that can be taken for family or professional reasons. That would 16 Sundays a year or about a fourth of the time when one pastor would still have the need to cover four services.
