Volunteer Appreciation

This month was Volunteer Appreciation Month. We wanted to dedicate the entire month to honor every person that serves in a ministry . Tonight we had a banquet in honor of our volunteers. We wanted every volunteer to know how much we appreciate them. I am very thankful for every person that volunteers in the Kids Department!! We have the best church family!!Ms. Julie is one of my Sanctuary Kids workers. She was honored tonight because she drives a hour and 20 minutes to church each way. She lives in Jacksonville. She is always early and is at church every time the doors are open. She is a HUGE help in Sanctuary Kids. She has been a big encouragement to me. I love working with her. We honored her with a $200 gas card.
Pastor Robert was honored tonight. He helps clean the church every week. That is not all he does. He is a HUGE servant. Any thing you need he is there to do it. He serves selflessly every week. He was honored with a $1000 shopping spree.
Mr. and Mrs. Griggs were honored tonight as the man and woman of the year. They are HUGE servants as well. They serve in many areas in the church. They always have an encouraging word to say and are extremely supportive. They are a HUGE blessing to our church. When we were in the process of moving they made sure we were doing ok every week. Their hugs and encouraging words is one of the things that helped us get through that process. They were honored with a plaque.
