Perhaps the thing that strikes me about the decision is just how worldly it is.
Somehow there has entered an idea that the church serves as an entertainment center and thus the paid entertainers need a week off. How does that mentality enter a church? How do the shepherds of the flock get to that position of thinking they are merely entertainers who need a break? How do the sheep get to such a condition where they just shrug and move on?
Somewhere this leads to a much bigger issue that requires the body to understand what is the function of church? What biblical lessons can be culled from scripture in order to understand what meeting together means and what Christ expects?
I might ask the shepherds to consider this in light of the decision that is being made.
Why is it worldly to give people time with their families? Can't people spend some time with their families without somehow being regarded as "paid entertainers", or expected to do the same thing every single week without respite?
Even Jesus went away from people to be alone. If we really want to demand people serve and serve and serve until they burn out and resign, with nobody willing to take their place because they can see the process of burning out unaided, go right on ahead and demand people give up everything to play guitar in church on Sunday morning.
Having seen a visible difference in my pastor before and after he went on his (well-earned) sabbatical break it's clear that even church leaders need a break once in a while. As for the primar function of the church, if I recall Jesus told us to go into the world and preach the gospel rather than going to an old building every Sunday and singing some hymns.
