The Associational Advisor

  And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.  -1 Thessalonians 5:13 Pastors, we are thankful for your faithful service to the churches of the Piedmont-Okefenokee Baptist Association. 

October is Pastor Appreciation Month. While encouragement, appreciation, and prayer support is appropriate throughout the year, we encourage churches to show appreciation for their pastor this month.  Focus on the Family’s guide to Pastor Appreciation Month is available at:  https://bit.ly/FOTFPastorAppMonth .  As you pray and write notes of encouragement, consider using these scriptures and others: Numbers 6:24-26 1 Chronicles 16:11 Joshua 1:9 John 13:34-35 Galatians 6:9 Isaiah 40:31 Proverbs 3:5-6 Isaiah 52:7 Matthew 6:33 Romans 15:13 James 1:5-6 Ephesians 2:10
