Pastor's appreciation day

Yesterday was Pastor's appreciation day. After the service, before the congreggation was dismissed, there was a short time of appreciating what the pastor has done for the church.

Weeks before, each family was given a little card to fill in their words of appreciation and love offerings for the pastor could be attached to the little card too.

It was nothing fanciful but it was definietly a very nice gesture.

I think all churches in Singapore should have this practice too. To give up everything to serve God is really not an easy thing to do. On top of that, as a pastor, there certain level of expectations which the people often look up to. Often, the position up there is lonely.
