well, of course he would expect to be paid!! the pay for the church
musician(s) should always be in the church budget, regardless of if they are
members of the church or not. if they want to take the check and donate it
back to the church, that is their business. but if they are being paid
either less than standard rate or not at all and it is not provided for in
the budget, these are the difficulties you face with the bean-counter types
who run most churches.
