As you probably know, October is “Pastor Appreciation Month” and it is just around the corner. That is why I want to pass along a resource that will help your church demonstrate their appreciation for your pastor in very tangible ways.

In cooperation with the National Association of Evangelicals, the USA/Canada Regional Office is happy to sponsor the annual “Bless Your Pastor” campaign for our Nazarene churches.

Pastors of first-time participating churches can receive a $200 gift card from the USA/Canada Regional Office through the NAE, in addition to the many other blessings that their churches will shower on them.

Please participate in this simple pastor appreciation. We know you love your pastor, and now is the time to show it!

Instructions for lay leaders:

Step 1: Share the Bless Your Pastor brochure with your congregation

Step 2: Receive an appreciation offering for your pastor

Step 3: Celebrate your pastor

Then, submit the gift card form. It's that easy!

Everything you need is at blessyourpastor.org/nazarene.

Blessings to you,

Dr. Stan Reeder, Regional Director

USA/Canada Church of the Nazarene
