Dear Friends,

            Every October churches around the nation set aside time to celebrate their Pastors all month long. Pastor & Pastor Elia McNutt strive to live honorably and with conviction, they dedicate themselves to studying the Word so that they deliver a message that is in season and heaven born. They take the time to pray for their partners and your family. Pastors are present on your best days like weddings, baby dedications, milestones, as well as the most challenging of times such as funerals and hospital visits. 1 Timothy 5:17(AMP) says, “The elders who perform their leadership duties well are to be considered worthy of double honor (financial support), especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching [the word of God concerning eternal salvation through Christ].” That is why we make sure to set aside time every October to show our appreciation to Pastors around the nation. 

            Appreciation can take many forms, faithfully attending services, a note expressing gratitude, monetary blessings, gifts, and many more unique ways. We have been so blessed by this church in how you have shown honor to Pastor Randy & Pastor Elia. Last October was a record breaking year for them in the financial love gifts you all sowed towards them. We know that was just the beginning and God is going to continue to bless them beyond their dreams. Your Pastors have a planned vacation coming up and I would like this house to send them with enough finances to cover their expenses. I encourage you to prayerfully consider what God would have you bless them with. Remember, any amount no matter the size helps us reach this goal and is very appreciated. If you would like to participate, there will be specialized envelopes available in the foyer, as well as a QR that you can scan to give directly to the designated fund. If you are set up with text-to-give, the code is “PGP”. Our special envelopes come with room to write a personal note that we will give to our Pastors in October. Our goal is to have all the finances by October 12th, so you may give towards this gift anytime digitally or in person at every service. Simply put your special envelope gift in the offering baskets at any time and we will make sure it goes to the correct fund. We will give an opportunity to sow towards this gift collectively at the end of service on Sunday, September 7th and Sunday, October 5th.

            Lastly, please save the date for a special Pastor Appreciation Service on Sunday, October 19th during the morning service. We would love to have you present to celebrate your pastors.  

Be blessed,

Pastors Joshua & Iliana Bulger
