Single staff churches as well as congregations with multiple ministers will benefit from a special recognition of those who serve as our Lord's undershepherds. And be at peace among yourselves. There are many options at this point.
Some churches honor their pastor and staff members on the anniversary date of their employment.
Choose a committee to give direction to this emphasis. Plan for recognition of the pastor and staff. Articles could be included in the church newsletter which include tenure with the congregation and particular contributions made to the life of the fellowship by the minister. Special mention of the minister's family should be included in such articles. Consider appropriate expressions of appreciation.
