Squirrels in the Sanctuary(PDF)
Arising from over 50 years in the ministry, this collection of stories provides a humorous and insightful look into church life and the “squirreliness” of the characters who drift in and out of a pastor’s sphere of influence.
Pastors starting out their ministry or some church members may think the bread and butter of ministry takes place on Sunday mornings during Sunday School hour and a worship service. But ministry is so much more – challenging, exciting, and sometimes quirky – than what takes place on Sunday mornings. Rev. Barton captures the cast of characters, both within and outside the church, who drift into the life of a pastor during his years of the ministry.
This collection of stories from Rev. Barton will keep readers bemused and sometimes bewildered at the host of squirrelly characters who kept life in the ministry captivating.
Thanks for taking your time to read. Please enjoy.
