October is Pastor Appreciation Month!
What’s your plan?

This year, instead of tangible gift, we thought it would be meaningful for our family to give of our time…
time in prayer that is.

Over a couple of evenings, we brainstormed 31 ways we could pray for our pastors and will pray one each day of the month.    We’re printing out copies for each of the pastors as well and posting one on our fridge to remind us to pray nightly at dinner.

If you like the idea, feel free to use ours or come up with your own.  Click graphic to open and print.

There are also many great ideas on Pinterest, like the ones that prompted our fun and yummy poster last year.

Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you,
who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. 
Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.
Live in peace with each other. 
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
