A Meeting of the Board:
We say that God isn't impressed with large numbers
and man shouldn't be depressed with small ones. And that's true.
But it's a fact that a full sanctuary leaves a positive impact
on the people in the pew as well as on the pastor in the pulpit.
All of which says that when we are absent without good reason,
everyone stands to lose.
An item from a church newsletter makes this point in a unique way.
It's entitled, “Calling a Meeting of the Board:”
"The board of absentees will meet each time a service of the church
is in session.
They will discuss various ways of keeping attendance as low as possible.
They will endeavor to see that there is no enthusiasm,
and help to decrease the offerings.
The board will also seek to weaken the pastor's influence,
and plan various ways to hinder any revival efforts
and all visitation programs in or by the church.
The board of absentees is composed of the following members:
Mr. I.M. Unconcerned,
Mrs O.U. Hypocrite,
Mr. and Mrs. U.R. Lazy,
Mrs. C. Others, and
Mr. I.M. Disgruntled, chairman."
See: Heb 10:24-25; Heb 13:17
