Working what seems to be an ungodly amount of time each day, trying to stay abreast of the issues your family is confronted with, spending countless hours in prayer lifting you up before a holy God, visiting you in the hospital and spending time with you in your home.

October is Clergy Appreciation Month. Wouldn't it be nice to spend some time reaching out to your Pastor(s) and show them how much you appreciate what they do?

So many of us have shared our complaints so willingly in the past, now let's let them know how much they are appreciated.
Your minister is a gift from God. Let's treat him/her that way!
