October is Pastor Appreciation Month!
This month, we give thanks for the pastors who faithfully serve our Wesley Memorial family and pour their hearts into the spiritual growth and well-being of our congregation.
We are blessed to have three pastors who each bring their own unique gifts, passions, and callings to our church:
Reverend Dr. Ken Lyon, our Interim Lead Pastor
Reverend Dr. Glenn Myers, our Pastor of Visitation
Reverend Clark Chilton, our Contemporary Service and Evangelism Pastor
Behind every sermon, every prayer, every hospital visit, every word of encouragement, and every moment spent shepherding God’s people is a heart committed to answering the Lord’s call. Ministry requires sacrifice, often in ways that many never see. It means showing up for others, carrying burdens alongside the flock, and faithfully pointing people back to Christ, even when the work is not easy.
Many of us can look back on our spiritual journeys and recognize the ways our pastors’ dedication and encouragement have helped us grow in our faith. Their willingness to serve is a blessing to our congregation, and we are grateful for the ways God works through each of them to strengthen our church family.
This Pastor Appreciation Month, we invite you to say a prayer for your pastors, offer a word of encouragement, write a note of gratitude, or simply take a moment to let them know they are appreciated. Your kindness may mean more than you realize.
To Reverend Dr. Ken Lyon, Reverend Dr. Glenn Myers, and Reverend Clark Chilton: thank you for heeding the call the Lord has placed on your life and for the many sacrifices you make along the way. We thank God for the unique gifts you each bring to Wesley Memorial and for the privilege of growing in faith under your leadership.
“And we urge you, brothers and sisters… to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:12–13
Wesley Memorial is grateful for you!
