Pastor Appreciation
by Gordon P. Lawton
On January 18, we have a national holiday which honors a Baptist pastor. Martin Luther King Jr. is not honored because he was Baptist or a pastor, but those two elements of who he was contributed greatly to his non-violent leadership in the cause of racial equality.
October is Pastor Appreciation Month, but there are other times we can show appreciation to our pastors. Anniversaries are a great time. The SDB Church in Plainfield, NJ, had a special celebration in December honoring their pastor for 25 years of service to that congregation. Anniversaries of ordination, accreditation, and marriage are also great times to say "we appreciate you."
And, if you need a reason to love on your pastor, the Sabbath before Martin Luther King Jr. day is as good as any. That weekend you can honor more than one Baptist pastor.
