October is Pastor Appreciation Month

October is Pastor Appreciation Month!

The call to honor our church leaders’ contributions can be traced back to the apostle Paul. In establishing the first Christian churches, Paul advised the congregation to give “double honor” to the elders of the church who managed the affairs of the church well, “especially those whose work is preaching and teaching” (1 Timothy 5:17).

So, “double honor” Pastor Brett with a hand-written note, small gifts, a coffee date, or just a sincere prayer of thanks for all he does for Westside. Most of all remember that while October is set aside as Pastor Appreciation Month, our pastors and church leaders should be encouraged, celebrated, and graciously thanked all year long. So shower them with love, understanding, and support every day of the year!
