Preaching Engagement Honorariums

[bishopcole]

LaRue....well done!

People get so mad when people request honorariums/funds for their service.  I am in a community choir that brings 40-50 people per engagement and let's be honest....we PUT IT DOWN!  Because we are new, our fee is $150 for any engagement within an hour's drive.  Church/ministry is still a business.  You want our group because 1) of our name and 2) of the level of excellence you'll get. 

There have been several churches that have gotten upset for us charging a fee, however the main reason you want us is to fatten your attendance (and hopefully your offering).  The only time we look at not charging the fee (which is very reasonable for what you're getting) is if we are attending a church of a choir member.

If your job told you that your pay rate will be based on the percentage of profit made during the pay period.......

SO TRUE AND VERY WELL STATED VT!!! THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE DOC!! AND THATS A RAPP!!!  Bishop Cole

sounds like an apple and oranges and apple-orange fruit drink debate is going on here .. but I may be missing something


1 person is saying if you are about your father's business then you will be willing to do it for free

1 person is saying if you are getting paid then I want to get paid also, no point in you using me to get richer

1 person is saying while the 1st person is right, most if not all of these "events" are to make money not about our Father's Business


Did I get that right?
