๐ **October is Pastor Appreciation Month!** ๐
This month, we want to take a moment to recognize our pastors and thank them for all they do for our church family and community.
Being a pastor is about a whole lot more than standing behind a pulpit on Sunday morning. It's the phone calls, hospital visits, late nights, prayers, conversations, and sometimes just being there when someone needs a listening ear. And let's be honest, putting up with all of us deserves a little appreciation on its own! ๐
But seriously, we are blessed to have pastors who love God, love people, and have a heart for serving others. They don't have all the answers, and they certainly aren't perfect (none of us are), but they continue to answer God's call and walk alongside us as we grow in our faith.
To our pastors Tim Howze Chuck Acheson, Cheryl Walsh we thank you for your leadership, your patience, your prayers, and your willingness to serve even when nobody is watching. We see the difference you make, and we appreciate you!
But we also know, they would not be able to do what they do, if it weren't for the spouses that are often in the background ensuring everything is running like it should. So we want to say thank you to Mary Shaw Howze and Acheson for all the support you have given for the many years in ministry.
Church family, let's show our pastors some love this month! Whether it's a kind word, a note of encouragement, or simply taking a moment to pray for them, let them know how much they mean to you.
And remember, pastors need prayer too. Probably a little extra after dealing with some of us! ๐
**Happy Pastor Appreciation Month!** โค๏ธ
