WE LOVE OUR PASTORS!!
October is Pastor Appreciation month!
We are SO blessed to have Pastor Jay, Pastor Doug, Pastor Ron, Pastor Gabe and Pastor Laine here at EFCCL—they all do so much for our church! Our pastors need encouragement. And while we’re very grateful for all that they do, sometimes we can forget to be intentional about showing it.
Notes of encouragement are always appreciated (their mailboxes are in our Main Office), but in case you'd like to do a bit extra, below are some of the ways you can show your gratitude for them. We hope these ideas will encourage you to reach out to them with a kind word or gift and be a blessing to them soon!
Pastor Jay and Becky Childs:
Pastor Jay and Becky love gift cards for date nights! They enjoy Red Mill Tavern in Woodstock, On the Border and Biaggi's in Algonquin, Jameson’s, Moontime Smokin' Que and Nick's Pizza & Pub in Crystal Lake. They also love gift cards to the Woodstock Cinema and Fresh Market.
Pastor Doug and Lisa Friesen:
Pastor Doug and Lisa love all restaurants, including Jameson’s, Chick-fil-A, McAllister’s Deli and Amuzgo Mexican Cuisine (in Algonquin). They would also appreciate gift certificates to Home Depot for DIY projects around their house.
Pastor Ron and Mystele Kirkeeng:
Pastor Ron and Mystele’s favorite places are Chen's, Amuzgo Mexican Cuisine (in Algonquin), Texas Roadhouse, Culver's, Target and Menards. Those who prefer to give acts of service, please contact Pastor Ron to see what work needs to be done around their house.
Pastor Gabe and Dawn Moore:
Pastor Gabe and Dawn would love gift cards for dates to local restaurants, or cards that help us take the Moore clan out for a family meal.
• For dates: Jameson's, First Watch, Village Squire, Outback
• For family: Chick-Fil-A, Culvers, Chili's, Texas Roadhouse
• Gift Cards for home projects are great.
• Finally, for chilly stay-at-home dates or family movie nights, some good firewood for the fireplace would be wonderful!
