Yep, it does all that. When I take vacation at my church, I become instantly available to sub at other churches, and I actually look forward to doing just that each summer. At present, I sub for three other churches and it's just a great experience....I wouldn't stop doing it...it gives me a chance to play for other denominations and play other instruments, plus we're needed and so...we give of ourselves. It's great!
