Q: October is Pastor Appreciation Month. In verse 12 we are encouraged to “honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work.” Consider who your spiritual leaders are right now – your small group leader(s) (or coach, ministry team leader, or Cross Training leader) and pastors. Take time now to write on of them a note or send them an email to express your appreciation for their service to you.
A: There have been several pastors over the years who have been important to me. I really love my former small group leaders Bob and Kelley, who are getting married in a couple weeks. I really like all the leaders right now in GodSearch. The coaches Liz, Tony and Sarah, Brent and Val, are all awesome and doing great stuff. Jeff and LeQue, our pastor and his wife, are totally awesome and they work really hard to make sure everything is moving smoothly, and Jeff is a great teacher and speaker. I would say LeQue is too but I haven’t heard her personally, but through the grapevine she is really great at teaching too. But sometime this week I might just try to send some cards to some people this week. But with that, I have written a lot today, so I’m done.
