How can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” - Romans 10:15 (CSB)
PASTORAL APPRECIATION
Dr. Fred & Denise Batten
October is observed as National Clergy Appreciation Month. During this time, a day is set aside as “Pastor Appreciation Day” — to celebrate pastors and to recognize the contributions and services of pastors along with their wives in serving their parishioners.
Church members, on Pastor Appreciation Day, once-a-year, come together to express their personal gratitude.
Many congregations observe the day by taking up a special offering to bless their pastors with. Other congregations may show their gratitude through different means such as honoring their pastors with meals, gifts, monetary contributions, and even paid vacations.
October is Pastoral Appreciation Month. During this timeframe, love will be shown through a special recognition program wherein all expressions of appreciation for our God sent Pastor and his beloved wife will be acknowledged.
