WAYS A CHURCH CHOIR DIRECTOR TELLS SOMEONE THEY CAN'T SING "I'm sorry, we've run out of robes." "We need strong singers like you in the congregation to help them sing the hymns." "I wouldn't want you to strain your voice." "Did you know singing can aggravate sinus problems?" "We still need good people for the handbell choir." "Here's a book on spiritual gifts. Why don't you look through it and we can find another place in the church for you to effectively minister." "It's a shame composers don't write more songs in your style." "You have a unique range - you hit both notes well." "Did you know there is a new Bible study starting the same night as choir practice, I think you'd get a lot from it." "You have excellent posture."
