As the volunteer Head Chef for my Church, I don't request payment, tho I do get some financial blessing out of my job on occasion. I don't expect it either, at least not until our church can bring the youth pastor on full time. From my point of view, it's my ministry to the church, and it keeps my skills honed. I've catered a wedding, 2 funerals, and appetizers & deserts for a couple of families for Thanksgiving, all paid, as a result of what I do at the church, and I do see the day comming when I'll be a paid staff member, but for the time being, I'd rather the $ that would go to me, go to the youth pastor or other needs at the Church. |
