Faith & Community Leaders: Show heartfelt thanks on Clergy Appreciation Day!
Celebrated on the second Sunday of October, today honors the pastors, priests, rabbis, ministers, and spiritual guides who dedicate their time, wisdom, and care to supporting congregations and communities.
Remember, they are human and some are ‘giving’ of themselves 24/7. Offer to help them serve others, take their car for an oil change, gas fill up(that itself would be huge, these days!) and carwash. Just OFFERING something of yourself to them would mean so very, very much. DJ Welcome Pardner Amarillo
