"just wasn't possible to round up this volunteer staff "

So why didn't he ask then and there for volunteers to commit to helping on that particular morning?

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just reporting what the pastor said. If he doesn't want to drag 100 volunteers away from their families on Christmas and force them to work from 8 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (which is how long the services run, including prep time and getting everybody out after the 1 p.m. service), he may just have a point. After all, he's been running the place for 20 years and probably has a good idea of what goes into it. If you disagree, you can make suggestions here: Church of the Redeemer
