Until last year I was employed by a conference center owned by the United Methodist Church. My role brought many, many pastors from all over Texas into my life. All too many of them are consistently beaten down by the needs of their congregations and find themselves in the helpless position of trying to please everyone. We all know that this is impossible. After this realization, I began to send thank you cards to our pastor and members of the church staff on a regular basis. It was amazing how this small gesture touched them. Given how often we are touched by our church- it's sad how few church members stop to appreciate the people who help fuel our spiritual fires. This is great- thanks, Curt.

I applaud you for really getting out there and looking for input on this. Coming from a church where years ago the Pastor took a lot of criticism but withstood it through the encouragement of those who shared his vision, I have seen firsthand how a congregation can rn down a leader, and how a congregation can lift that leader up. At Christian City Church-Long Island, we really love our pastor. I look forward to sharing the ideas of other pastors on how to encourage him so we can lift him even more. Fantastic subject, Curt.
