Pastor & Staff Appreciation

As we end October, a special time set aside to honor and celebrate our pastor, we are reminded of how truly blessed we are to have Rev. Blair Zant as our Senior Pastor. Her leadership and vision for Chamblee First UMC continue to inspire us and guide our community in faith.


In addition to acknowledging Rev. Blair Zant, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for the incredible staff that supports her and our church in countless ways. Their dedication and hard work ensure that our church remains a beacon of hope and love for all.


This Sunday, we invite you to participate in showing your gratitude by writing a "Shout-Out" on a post-it note and posting it on the Chamblee First UMC Staff Appreciation Shout-Out Board (one in the Atrium and one in the Narthex). This is a wonderful opportunity to share your words of thanks and encouragement with the staff who consistently go above and beyond to serve our congregation.


Thank you, Chamblee First UMC staff, for your unwavering commitment and for making a difference every day. Your efforts are deeply appreciated, and we are grateful for each one of you.


With Gratitude,

SPR Committee
