Pastors’ Luncheon for Middle and High School
We are grateful for our pastors! On Thursday, February 26, we’ll honor them at our annual Pastors’ Luncheon. Each church should have received an invitation recently, and your student(s) will have one to hand deliver to their pastor this week. Please encourage your child to personally invite their pastor, as a personal request feels more meaningful than a letter. We hope all our churches will join us in showing appreciation for our pastors on this special day!
