This Sunday at Church: Honor those who have served at Church for years

For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Honor those who have served at Church for years.

 

I know in the past I have written Thank someone who works behind the scene.  That was nearly three years ago. (I didn’t know I have been doing these Sunday series that long!).  But today’s post I want to capture something more than just saying “thank you.”  Pray before you go to church for an opportunity to publicly honor someone before others.

Don’t just find someone who is in a visible serving position; try to see if there’s someone who is behind the scene.

This idea came about as we have a family going to go to another church.  They have been faithful for decades.  They want to leave quietly.  But I feel that wasn’t right; we should express our appreciation for decades of serving God.  We will have food and others share their thanks publicly.

Maybe this Sunday it won’t be as coordinated and celebratory (and a bit of sadness with the joy).  But it be a great aim to honor someone before others.

I think this can be easier to do if you are involved with leadership at church; still I think there can be opportunities that present itself for all of us to honor someone verbally.
