October is Pastor Appreciation Month!

Hebrews 13:7
Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God.
Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.
 
John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 
By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
 
October is Pastor Appreciation month and we want to show our love and appreciation to Pastor Tim, Pastor David and Pastor Sarah for all their love, hard work and dedication.
 
We are putting together a video and want you to be a part of it…. Be thinking now of a few words of encouragement for the pastors and when you see me, let me know you are ready and I will record your message! Please just come on up to me when you are ready anytime! Just like this one HERE!
 
Each Sunday in October there will be a table in the sanctuary with a place for cards and gifts. We will also have blank cards available for you to write a note to them.
 
The last Sunday of October the elders are hosting a reception after service with cake and punch just before the second opportunity to attend the HFC Vision Conference session. We’d love for you stay and celebrate our Pastors!
 
There are so many fun and great ideas on how to show appreciation from sending a text, email, asking them out for coffee or lunch, or as a community group you could all pitch in to give their family a fun night out or some fun outing such as museum passes or tickets to I-fly! There are so many fun things to do around Houston!
 
Help us make this month special for them – here are a few ideas on what they like:
 
Pastor Tim would enjoy and feel appreciated with gift cards to The Cuppo Coffee, Smoothie KIng, or a generic gift card to be used toward new shoes picked out by HFC young adults.
 
Pastor Sarah would love giftcards to any of these: Amazon, First Watch, Sweet Greens or MOD Pizza. She does not need any home goods such as hand towels, coffee mugs, candles, or decor.
 
Pastor David would feel appreciated with any generic gift cards or any food place you would want him to try!
 
If you have any questions or need help with an idea, I’m happy to help!
 
Your sister in Christ!
