October 11 is Pastors Appreciation Sunday

At Pastors Retreat Network, we are conducting a campaign to promote October as Pastors Appreciation Month, and October 11 as Pastors Appreciation Sunday.

If you wish to bring attention to Pastors Appreciation Month and Sunday to your congregation, we are providing some tools to help you.

At the same time, these tools make it easy for your congregation to give to Pastors Retreat Network during its Fall 2009 Fund Raising Drive. All the materials can be downloaded and may be customized by you.

You’ll notice that this material brings to light the importance of all pastors to their congregations and communities – don’t worry, we won’t put the spotlight on you.

This October, Pastors Retreat Network is asking churches to contribute in two ways:
• Budget $1,000 annually; or,
• Hold a Special Offering Oct. 11, or a Sunday during Pastors Appreciation Month

If you choose to participate, let us know by replying to [email protected].
