would you do differently?

of volunteers.2. As part of your project, outline
how you will take care of these complaints.
(Many of the details on how to do this will be studied in Unit 3. For now, just figure out a way to include these elements in your plan so they are not lost or left out).

Avoid two fatal flaws Requiring too much time from
the pastor or the person in charge of volunteers or the project.– Slow start because of so much pastoral
time involvement.•“The major reason such programs are
not put to greater use in the church is because of the slow start necessitated by the commitment of so much pastoral time.”
