[As a pastor, I am pleased with hearing such phrases all the time. Ah, often. Or once in a while. Well, in my dreams.]
> “Hey! It's my turn to sit in the front row.”
> “I was so enthralled, I never noticed your sermon went 25 minutes overtime.”
> “I've decided to give our church the $500 a month I used to send to TV evangelists.”
> “May I volunteer to be the permanent teacher for the Junior High Sunday School class?”
> “I love it when we sing these old hymns I've never heard before.”
> “Since we're all here, let's start the service early.”
> “Pastor, we'd like to send you to a Bible seminar held on a cruise ship in the Bahamas.”
