<ul>
<li>CHILDREN’S PASTOR To volunteer for children’s ministry.</li>
<li>MUSIC MINISTER To join the choir in time for the Christmas musical.</li>
<li>MINISTER OF PASTORAL CARE We don’t forbid nor condone road crossing but we do have home groups for chickens traumatized by road crossing.</li>
<li>MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR Nobody told me I’m going to have to clean up after chickens.</li>
<li>SENIOR PASTOR To give an offering, but if it is just visiting we don’t want it to be under any obligation.</li>
<li>PASTOR’S SECRETARY Did it have an appointment to cross that road?</li>
<li>CHURCH ADMINISTRATOR The chicken apparently did not read the memo forbidding any road crossing without my prior approval.</li>
<li>CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD What committee approved this road crossing? Where will the money come from for all this unnecessary road crossing? Do I have a motion to stop unauthorized road crossing?</li>
<li>GUEST EVANGELIST To be a partner with the ministry God has put on my heart.</li>
<li>CHURCH SECRETARY I didn’t give my permission for some chicken to cross the road?</li>
<li>YOUTH PASTOR What chicken? What road? If any chicken did anything improper I can assure you that I do not approve of it. It was properly supervised the entire time. However, we must realize that we live in a time when chickens sometimes do things they shouldn’t. I will talk to the chicken. This won’t happen again.</li>
</ul>
