Pastor Appreciation Day ~ Word Art Wednesday #250-251

For my 

Word Art Wednesday

entry this week, I wanted to also meet the monthly

card challenge on Christian Card Makers to

honor my Pastor with a card of appreciation.

Since I recently moved, I currently am visiting a couple

of church seeking God's guidance on where I should

be led to be fed His Word.

My wonderful new neighbors invited me several weeks ago 

to visit with them to their church and since I've returned 

there a couple of times, I decided that the Pastor 

there would be the recipient of my card.

Next problem - I don't really know him, what he likes etc.

So being a note taker during sermons, 

I turned back to the first sermon that I heard him give

remembering that I laughed and loved his presentation

and his message from his heart while sharing 

God's Holy word with us. 

The Sermon title was Singing With Grace and the scripture

reference was Colossians 3:16

 

Being a crafter who enjoys using the words of hymns in my cards

and also who grew up with the beautiful words of the 'old fashioned' songs, 

this message was a perfect reminder that 

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord' is not an option! 

Our worship involves singing.  We teach the Bible through singing. The word of God dwells in us richly through songs. 

His challenge ~ 

Sing to the Lord ~ Sing with Grace ~ Sing with our Hearts! 

Definitely a message that I was blessed with and have taken into 

my heart.  My new card is ready for delivery on this Sunday, 

National Pastor / Minister Appreciation Day.  

I hope you will take time to thank your church leader 

this weekend also.

Thank you for stopping by ~ Pam
