Those Who ________________, Thank You!

This past Sunday’s Pastor Appreciate was such a meaningful day to this pastor and his family. Our hearts were humbled and warmed by the outpouring of words, cards, gifts, for the special preaching, singing, and skits, and for all the preparation and planning of the wonderful meal. Most of all our hearts were grateful for such wonderful people. You Union Pentecostal Church folk are so faithful. Those who are so faithful to attend our weekly services, over and over again, thank you. Those who are so faithful in leading your volunteer ministries—all the planning, preparing, teaching, etc.—, thank you. Those who are so faithful to give and support the church and its work, thank you. Those who are so faithful to fill the prayer room each Sunday evening, thank you. Those who come each Tuesday morning to prayer meeting, thank you. Those who come early to practice for both adult and youth choirs, thank you. The musicians who dedicate their time and talent, thank you. Those who are involved in outreach, thank you. Those who use your vacation time to help with camps, thank you. Those who take care of our grounds, vehicles, and equipment, thank you. The board members who carry the burden of the church, thank you. Those who come on cleaning days, thank you. Those who go to the nursing home ministries, thank you. Those who help cook for, set up for, and plan special events, thank you. Those who show a real interest in the Word of God as this pastor preaches and teaches, thank you. Those who do whatever I have not yet listed, thank you.
