ROCKY MOUNTAIN

DISTRICT

Elders who do their work well should be re-

spected and paid well, especially those who

work hard at both preaching and teaching.

FOCUSED TOUR Coming to the Rocky Mountain District, October 25—November 1, 2015

A Note from Coach Bill Carr. . .

I am thankful for the Rocky Mountain District Ministry team of

pastors and their families. October gives us all an extra opportunity

to show them just how much we appreciate them and their ministry. I encourage you to do that.

Pastors, as you serve with faithfulness, your light shines before

others. God has called you to serve Him as preacher, teacher,

counselor, and friend. Your ministry is a blessing to many both in your church family, community and beyond.

My prayer is that God will continue to strengthen and bless you and

your family as you faithfully serve Him where He has called you.

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with

knowledge and understanding.” Jeremiah 3:15

Farewell to Pastors Jason and Mindy States
