October: Pastor Appreciation Month
James 3:1-10
How Can I Bless My Pastor?
1. ________________________ is gained or lost by our words.
Lift up the Lord’s Servants as they… Love the Lord Pray regularly for them and their families.
Love their neighbor/ Love their spouse Provide a more than adequate, even generous salary, insurance and retirement compensation. Give a gift card to a favorite restaurant for a couple’s date night.
Love their neighbor/ Love their children and family
To Our Guests We are excited that you have chosen to worship with us today. We hope that you find our fellowship warm and friendly, the message meaningful and practical, and that you encounter God in a life-transforming way. Please take a moment and fill out the Guest Card located in the seat in front of you and place it in the offering bag as it is passed. At the conclusion of the service take the card to the Welcome Counter in the foyer for a special “Thank you” gift. As our guest, we do not want you to feel obligated to participate in the offering unless you have a desire to; this is how those who call El Camino Baptist their church home support its ministries. If you have children with you, we encourage you to take advantage of our great preschool and children’s worship. This will free you and others to give full attention to worship and God’s Word — and your kid (s) will have a great time. See someone from Guest Services for assistance.
Encourage their children to be as involved in church activities as the family discerns is best. Give unused sports or concert tickets to your minister’s family as a gift.
Love their neighbor/ Doing life with other Jesus followers Provide appropriate time off and finances for conventions, seminars, conferences and continuing education that are separate from vacations. Encourage and support involvement in men and women’s activities, without pressure to lead them.
Lovingly witness by imparting their very lives and they gospel Encourage your pastor’s involvement in activities, hobbies, sports and events that provide opportunities for outreach. Celebrate and affirm your minister when he shares the gospel in the “traffic patters” of life.

“The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart … that if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you shall be save.
