It’s Saturday, and that means we are a day late for our “Church Family Spotlight”! Each week, we’ll be highlighting some of the amazing people who faithfully serve in our church. We hope that this not only gives well-deserved recognition to those who work so hard behind the scenes but also helps our community see some of the friendly faces that make our church family so special. If you’re thinking about visiting, you’ll already have a few familiar faces to look forward to seeing when you walk through our doors!
With October being Pastor Appreciation Month, this week, we would love to spotlight Pastor Marshall’s wife, Rachel, and his three children, Gracie, Jack, and Ben.
A pastor’s job is not easy, and they can’t do what they need to do without a gracious family. Pastor Marshall has been blessed with a wonderful family who are kind, considerate, and understanding when it is time for him to do what needs to be done to help shepherd the congregation. That is just the tip of the iceberg on how incredible they are with all the other things they do to help bless this church.
Rachel is one of the teachers who teaches in our Kids’ Church. She also helps out in the youth group as an assistant. She has been an integral part of our worship team in the past. She has helped out during VBS, kids’ Christmas Program, and a host of other events. She is vitally essential to our church, and we, as a whole, couldn’t do what we need to do if she didn’t do what she does. Rachel loves her family dearly and can always be found doing what she can to help support each member of the family. She loves Jesus with all her heart and is a great example of a Godly wife and a Godly mother.
Gracie, Jack, and Ben are all still in high school, but don’t let that young age fool you; they are heavily involved in helping out at the church. Gracie has helped for several years in VBS and was one of the star actresses in our VBS skits. She has also helped out in our Christmas program. Jack and Ben have also helped out in VBS and the Christmas program. All three assist in Kids’ Church as helpers; they help set up and tear down for events in our gym and assist their dad with tasks around the church. All three love Jesus, which I know makes their parents proud. They are a tremendous blessing to our church family.
Please help me thank Rachel, Gracie, Jack, and Ben for all they do by leaving an encouraging word for them in the comments and sharing any other ways they have blessed you.
