PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH

This month is Pastor Appreciation month, a time to thank, think about and pray for your Pastor.

A pastor's job doesn't end when the closing hymn dies away. After the last hand is grasped and the last empty cup thrown away, a pastor's job often is just beginning. There are shut-ins to visit, hospital patients to comfort and confirmation studies to prepare, choir practice and sermon writing to name a few. It's an emotionally and physically draining calling that

Deserves appreciation.

Mother Teresa said “Kindness is language we all understand. Even the blind can see it and the deaf can hear it.”

What a great reminder to us to say “Thank You Pastor, I Appreciate You.”

There are many ways to show Pastor our appreciation. I am listing a few that come to mind but I am sure that you can think of many ways to show your appreciation:

There are a lot of things we can do that cost very little or nothing at all. Let us all show our appreciation for Pastor not only this month but throughout the year.

Give Pastor a Hug Today & Say Thank You!

Poet’s Corner

Election Promises

Candidates across the land

Always with microphone in hand

Breathe into them loud and clear

Promises for all to hear

Promises that continue to increase

By leaps and bounds, there’s no decrease

And so it seems these microphones

Become great big inflated balloons.

The more their promises escalate

The more their balloons inflate

Until the final day

All candidates have had their say

Silence – no microphones needed now

Election Day

And all balloons go

POP

All can now see what were

The promises blown into their microphones

HOT AIR

GOOD HUMOUR

v It wasn't the apple that caused the trouble in the Garden of Eden; it was the pair on the ground.

v Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors.
