October is Church pastor and

staff appreciation month. The

past year has been challenging

and our pastor and church staff

have navigated unchartered

waters to keep our church family connected to our church

services and events, while also building a new church. You

may consider different ways to show your appreciation by

offering thanks, dropping a card in the offering plate or other

kind acts of appreciation for the church staff.
