Pastor Appreciation
Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 NLT

October is the time of year where we, as a church family, make a special effort to overwhelm our Pastors and Leadership Staff by encouraging their spirit, igniting their faith, appreciating, loving and lifting them up in prayer.

You are encouraged to:

Talk with them about how much you appreciate their sermons, teaching, worship, lessons, effort, love for God and the church family, really anything they do to show God’s love.

Pray for our Pastors and Leadership Staff. If you like guided prayer, there is a 30 day prayer guide available on the credenza outside the worship center.

Write personal notes of appreciation and encouragement. Cards will be collected in a box located on the credenza outside the worship center. We will present our Leaders with your cards on October 30. Please consider writing a note to some or all of the following leaders:

Brad Mitchell - Lead Pastor
Zach Hibbard - Youth Pastor
Todd Porter - Connections Pastor
Jim Mousie - Pastor to Families
Maria Chastain - RiverBank Kids Director
Kim Porter - Music & Creative Arts Director
