Pastor Appreciation Month: Thank You, Pastors

Written by Leah Norton | October 1, 2026

Dear Pastor,

Thank you.

We appreciate you during Pastor Appreciation Month. And every month.

We see the weight you carry.

To share the Good News faithfully, even when so many of us are distracted, resistant or skeptical.

To shepherd a flock, made up of people who are needy, wayward and fickle.

To sacrifice again and again, when what we all want more of is comfort and ease. And you're human too.

You help bring Jesus' light to darkness. Hope to brokenness. Support to the hurting.

Thank you for answering God’s call. Thank you for your humble leadership.

We’re so grateful. May the Lord bless you and your family!
