October is Pastor Appreciation Month - a time for us as a church family to celebrate and honour the incredible pastors and ministry staff who lead, serve, and pour so faithfully into our community. On behalf of the Church Board, we want to express our deep gratitude for their dedication, wisdom, and care.
Their leadership and love for people make a lasting impact on our church, and we are truly blessed by each of them. We encourage you to join us in showing appreciation throughout the month in creative and meaningful ways - whether through a note of encouragement, a thoughtful gift, or simply taking a moment to say “thank you.”
Most importantly, let’s keep our pastors and their families in prayer, asking God to strengthen, refresh, and bless them as they continue to lead and serve with such faithfulness.

The collection date for all filled shoeboxes is Sunday, November 16th. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and bring joy to those in need this Christmas season!
