Pastors, serve with all your heart!

With our Volunteer Appreciation Banquet a great success- the cards and comments continue. Here is what one couple wrote:

To all the Staff and Advisory Team,
Words cannot express what a wonderful time we had at the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner Sunday evening! The atmosphere, decorations and service was outstanding and the food, was “classic Robyn!” Just delicious!

It’s true that you never see the numbers of willing workers that we have at the Vine, But I think that last night just gave us the answer to why we do serve. When the leadership, from the Pastor right on through, is such a true “servant” of God, we, the body cannot help but learn by example.

It’s said that we retain some 80% of what we see and only 5% or so of what we hear. Maybe the key is what we see day in and day out! We love you all and thank you so very much.

Key to great pastoring is leading by example! Jesus did- we as pastors can do no less!
