Funny that this has come up again...anyway as I mentioned on another thread our church has musicians that are paid staff and then volunteers (bass, guitar, congos) are not paid. Well, over the holidays my MOM met with the volunteers and said that they had made provisions to pay the volunteers $50 per service. We have two bass and two lead guitar players so whoever plays gets the money for that service which we all felt was fair. We are going go be basically on a contract basis. Right now we have one service since we moved into our new church facility a few years ago. We used to have an 8am and 11am service. Our pastor said we will probably be going back to 2 services in March when Easter( Resurrection Sunday) comes.
On 1st sunday the mass choir sings both services and on the other sundays the male, women, youth will do a service and then the praise and workship team will do the other service.
