To: Pastor John,
Just for fun…..
I remember when you asked me to be the Worship Leader and you indicated that you wanted my tenure to be about twelve years – or until you retire.
That made me think of the song: “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, so I wrote this in that spirit:
Beginning my 12 years of service, the pastor said to me
“Please keep up the worship, you see”.
From the first year and onward, we’ll see how it should be-
Twelve – church is over
Eleven – pastor’s preaching
Ten – singer’s practice
Nine – the prayer and Sunday School
Eight – quilting’s over
Seven – Board is summoned
Six – feed the kidlets
Five – start the Kid’s club
Four – visit Banfill
Three Cupryna children
Two – potluck’s over
And One pastor too tired to retire.
