The Habit of Service | Rev. Andrew Chappell

John 13:1-17   Pastor Appreciation Sunday was October 13, 2024 THANK YOU to Reverends Andrew Chappell and Connor Bell, who are the most visible as our preachers yet are on-call 24/7, standing with congregants and others to offer spiritual and other support in times of confusion and transition, times of heart-wrenching sorrow and times of overwhelming joy. They laugh, cry and pray with those whom they shepherd and serve. Pastor Appreciation Month was established as a worldwide recognition time in 1992. The call to honor the contributions of pastoral leaders can be traced back to Paul, who advised congregations to give “double honor” to the elders who managed the affairs of the church well, “especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.” (1 Timothy 5:17, NIV).
