October is Pastor Appreciation month, a time to honor the Pastoral Team God has placed in our lives! We are so blessed to have humble, gracious, pastors who love the Lord. All year long they faithfully serve, lead, pray, listen, preach and love us! |
|
It is easy to take that for granted so let’s take this opportunity to show them our love, support, and appreciation. Take a moment to reflect on how they have impacted your relationship with God or how their wise counsel has helped you or your family through difficult times and share that with them by sending a simple, hand-written note of encouragement, a quick text, a heart-felt email, or a shout-out on Facebook!
Staff emails can be found at the bottom of this page.
“The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching” (1 Tim. 5:17).
