Did you know that October is Pastor Appreciation Month?
The Bible reminds us "to respect those who work hard among you . . .
hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work"
1 Thessalonians 5:13-14
We invite you to join us in showing our love and appreciation for Pastor Rich & Lisa, as well as Pastor Rich & Gabrielle. We are incredibly blessed by all their leadership and their hearts to serve the Lord and Crossroads.
We would encourage each of you to shower them with words of gratitude and encouragement by writing a card or personal note. Wouldn’t it be amazing to overwhelm them with greetings that let them know how much we love and appreciate their heart for ministry to all of us? You may also want to bless them with a gift of your time & talent, a gift card, or financial gift (if you write a check, just make it out to that pastor, not to Crossroads).
Please feel free to quietly hand them off for collection to Dave Stanfield, Nikki Jobes or place in basket at the back of the auditorium. You can also drop them off or mail them to the church address:
Crossroads Community Church
Attn: Rich & Lisa Clay or Rich & Gabrielle Sparling
C/O Nikki Jobes
600 Highland Dr.
Winnebago, IL 61088
Our plan is to present all of these blessings at the service on October 24 so if possible, get your notes/cards in by October 20. Please feel free to help us in sharing this message with others who might not have email, so that everyone can be involved.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating and honoring our pastors.
