Recently, I was lucky to sit in on a meeting with a church’s governing board, their interim pastor and a church consultant.  The congregation had planned to seek a settled, full time pastor.  But when they began their search process, they were forced to examine their dwindling financial resources.  It appeared they were going to have to make some tough choices.  They could either do some serious building repairs OR  hire a full time pastor.  Not both.

Well, you know the old saying:

When you have two choices, take the third.”
