The Abingdon-Church of the Resurrection Ministry Guides are the first choice for recruiting, motivating, and developing lay leadership for specialized ministries from A to Z—from adult ministries to ushering. Each inexpensive, 64-page Guide brings together Church of the Resurrection's can-do attitude with Abingdon Press's ministry of empowering church leaders. The result is a series that is user-friendly, encouraging, and most important, practical. The passion to help churches experience how many things they can do to encourage participation drives these Ministry Guides.
Each Guide is concise, conversational, and current, full of ideas you'll be able to implement immediately, with little or no budget. Recognizing that volunteers are busy people who work hard, the Guides will be the first place to turn when you're new to a topic, to help you feel empowered, prepare quickly, and get up and running with confidence and creativity. You'll find eye-catching icons and features that help you move directly to practical, fun, and effective solutions.
An excerpt from the Circuit Rider review: "This little guide, another in the series out of The Church of the Resurrection in Leawood Kansas, will be helpful to churches large, medium and small desiring to develop and expand lay participation in all aspects of congregational life and work. Dan Entwistle, managing executive director for programs and ministries at The Church of the Resurrection, writes out of years of experience in recruiting, training and deploying laypeople for ministry. His book will be no less valuable to UMM and UMW units, campus ministries, conference and district staff and church-related non-profits." (Click here to read the entire review.)

Recruiting Volunteers
I had many moments of surprised recognition in this book--perhaps you would too. "Other people do that too?" moments. The three sections of the book--waiting, routines & daydreaming--talk about what we do & why we do it. My favorite section was the one on waiting--their summary (From David Maister's work) of what makes waits feel longer or shorter I thought was a brilliant encapsulation. I always say, tell me it will be an hour and I will wait relatively patiently; tell me it will be 20 minutes and then make me wait an hour, and I'll be really angry. It's not the hour. Their summary:
1) People want to get going--waiting for a menu feels like longer than waiting for the food
2) Uncertain waits are longer than known, finite waits
3) Unexplained waits are longer than explained waits
4) Unfair waits are longer than reasonable waits--as when someone answers the phone while you wait in the office for your own turn (they cut!)
5) The more valuable the service, the more patience the customer will show
6) Solo waits feel longer than group waits
Their conclusion at the end of the book is that what seem like very private moments are actually based on shared understandings.
Anyway, it was worth it just to see that other people do what I do when they are just sitting around....
