Pastor Appreciation Month – October – We should help show our appreciate to our pastors, not only this month dedicated to them, but all the time. These men of God put other things aside for our needs to help give us the Word of God.

Pastor Appreciation Month is in October

This is also known as Pastors Appreciation Month or Clergys Appreciation Day.

Pastor Bob Neal

I would love to special thanks to all the past pastors in my life and to my current pastor, Bob Neal at Piedmont Baptist Church in Dandridge, TN. God truly uses this man and I always feel the power of the Holy Spirit with his sermons. I know that I can go to Pastor Bob about anything. He has been the longest serving pastor at Piedmont too.

Pastor Justin Breeden

In addition, I would love to also give a special appreciation to Justin Breeden, who is a licensed minister. Justin ministers to various ministries for our church and right now is a fill in pastor at area churches. I enjoy it when I can hear him preach and teach too. He is a very knowledgeable man and you can learn a lot from him. Justin will make you think and research for yourself.

Heather of SimplySpokn did a similar blog post, How to Make your Pastor Feel Unappreciated

Which makes some good points. Points that we as a member of the body of a church seem to always do. We always seem to do those, and we don’t realize doing them, makes our pastor feel unappreciated.
