October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Each week we are blessed by their sermons, leadership, instruction, service, and prayers, so we thought it would be a good idea to remind ourselves that pastors are people, too.

I enjoy meeting a new colleague in ministry. One of the questions I usually ask is, "How did you come to know the Lord?" This past month we traveled throughout the Lake Union and visited several pastoral teams. We hope you appreciate their willingness to share their personal journeys, and are blessed by how God has shaped their lives to serve you.
