When recruiting, I give an option of serving 3, 6 or 12 months and once they are on the schedule, very rarely do I have someone who doesn't recommit. People don't want to feel they are there until Jesus returns! Also, we recently made some huge progress and additions to our nursery ministry that made my lead pastor so happy he has been recruiting for me from the pulpit! That sure doesn't hurt. :) Very good stuff! When recruiting, I give an option of serving 3, 6 or 12 months and once they are on the schedule, very rarely do I have someone who doesn’t recommit.

Should they feel responsibility, yes...but not what is our responsibility. It's also not their job to fix what we probably messed up! :) Great thoughts Jonathan! :) Thanks! pudge Exactly! :)

I'm amazed at how many CM Pastors I know that complain to their volunteers about not having more volunteers. For God's Sake be POSITIVE! Who wants to jump on a sinking ship?
