Quiet But Effective

I've been helping with the Forsyth Family Festival again this year. So far I've mostly been contacting local pastors to see if they and their congregations are interested in being a part of this year's event. These calls and emails have been a real joy for me. What has made them so enjoyable is the time spent interacting with the outstanding ministers in our community. We have some great men and women leading the churches of Forsyth County.

Each minister possesses unique gifts, but all appear to have a sincere love of the Lord and the desire to see their congregations thrive and be healthy. I'm so grateful for these servants; like school teachers I believe they are vastly undervalued by most for the enormous contribution they make to our community.  The vast majority of these Christian leaders go about their daily lives quietly serving God and those God has entrusted to their care. They live their lives far from the spotlight, headlines, and gushing accolades afforded celebrities.

But God knows...and they know they are making a difference in our world today, and in the final analysis, that's what really matters. If you attend a church; give your pastor a call, send them a call or shoot them an encouraging email today. Meanwhile, here's to our local pastors - we love and appreciate you so much!
