    Volunteer Appreciation:  Because of You

    Bookmark and Share

    Here's a humorous look at how a church thanked it's volunteers. NOTE: You won't appreciate this if you didn't live through the eighties. What a better way to thank your volunteers than an 80's hair band remake?!

      Very cute. We do something like that live at our volunteer appreciation dinner every year. The pastors do a song parody together. This year it was to the tune of New York New York and we all wore those cheesy tuxedo t-shirts. It was funny.

      Brilliant.  Absolutely brilliant.


      My favorite parts were the brief moments he channeled Axl Rose.

      Well Todd, you’ve finally shown your true colors! An ungodly, worldly looking band playing the devil’s music and for what—to thank volunteers at a church??!! If those volunteers really loved Jesus, they wouldn’t want to be appreciated—but because you insist on consumer oriented, ME ME ME, selfish Rick Warren-driven churches, this is where it leads to—long hair and drums to thank people for what they ought to be doing anyway. Apostasy pure and simple.

      the above was meant to be in jest, cause I got folks in my church that would react this way.

      Love it!


      I pump my fist in the air and bang my head for all my volunteers!


      Rock on!!

      Come join clients, families, and staff for our annual Christmas Party…filled with holiday music, dinner and awards for volunteering this past year 640-460. We will have barbeque, chips, beverages and want you to bring your most creative or festive Christmas dish 640-553. Anything from a main dish to desert. Those who have spent their valuable time working our events, helping with mailings and general office work, where valued time is appreciated 640-802, will receive an appreciation award for your work. Be sure to call ahead first with the number of people in your group and the dish you will bring.

      This tactic suggests that the person we offended has the problem, not us. I’m pretty sure I recall a few politicians and public figures using this line…
