Pastor Appreciation Month
October is Pastor Appreciation Month, a special time to show love and gratitude for Pastor Bobby and his faithful service to our church. We are blessed by his leadership, teaching, and care for our congregation. Let’s take this opportunity to encourage him through our prayers, by writing him a note of thanks, sharing a word of encouragement, or even surprising him with a small act of kindness. Together, let’s thank God for his ministry among us!
