Thank you for our caring Pastor
The credit is to You our Lord and Master
We think of him as our brother
He helps us learn to love each other
He tells us we are Your delight
As his example helps us live right
We will live with You forever
We know You will leave us never
We’re glad he chose to follow You
Through his teaching we will follow too

This portion of Jim's study in I Timothy 3 speaks of the qualities of a Pastor.
This portion of Jim's study in I Timothy 3 speaks of the qualities of a Pastor.
They must be above reproach, gentle and able to teach God’s Word.
"For a pastor must be a good man whose life cannot be spoken against. He must have only one wife, and he must be hard working and thoughtful, orderly, and full of good deeds. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and must be a good Bible teacher.” I Timothy 3:2 (LNT)
“ My own writings”
As young children both Jim and I attended church with our parents. It was by God’s grace that we continued to attend church as adults. Over the years we have been blessed with the teachings of very special pastors. They spoke the truths found in God’s Holy Word, the Bible. They pointed us to the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, Who shed His blood for us. Their lives were an example of a true servant honoring God in all that they did. They were very loving and not afraid to point you back in the right direction when you needed it.
Thank you pastors for your tender care, and for you, dear pastor’s wives, you have been such grand mentors in my life – Thank you! It is through all your prayers and encouragement that I press on in seeking God's will for my life.
“Through their teachings we, too, will follow.” I am so thankful
