October designated Clergy Appreciation Month
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
Global Ministry Center
October is Clergy Appreciation Month, and the Office of Clergy Development encourages all congregations to come alongside their clergy, who sacrifice and faithfully serve the Lord and His church.

"Our servant leaders shepherd with care," said Dan Copp, Clergy Development director, in a letter to USA/Canada Region church board secretaries. "Those who do the preaching and teaching in your congregation will be deeply honored through your expressions of grace. Celebrate those who have answered God’s call and are serving with intentionality."

To assist congregations in the planning for Clergy Appreciation, helpful suggestions are available at nazarenepastor.org. Planning guides, videos, and many other helpful resources are provided in English and Spanish.

Remember, clergy include all those who serve pastorally, and this month of appreciation is for all of them. So gather a Sunday School class, home group, or engage the entire congregation. October is the time to say, "thank you."

If there are questions or comments regarding Clergy Appreciation resources, call or email Clergy Development at (800)306-7651 or pastor@nazarene.org.
