Pastor appreciation . . .

October is pastor appreciation month. I wanted to express my appreciation for our new pastor and wife, Wesley and Joy McDonald. I appreciate their spirit of love and caring for the church. It has not been an easy year for the McDonald family. In March, Rev. Smokey McDonald, was killed in a tragic accident. Then in August, Wesley and Joy lost a baby boy named Nathaniel John (at 34 wks). Through it all I have watched them keep a positive attitude, a sweet spirit, and their faith in God.

I am excited about the new things that have been happening around our church. There has been a renewed interest in the youth group and also in our missionary society. Recent 'Rally Days' have been an encouragement for everyone to invite and bring others to church.

Wes & Joy - thanks for all you do for our church! We deeply appreciate you!
