The July 2020 issue of Reaching Rural America for Christ highlights ways that congregations can graciously welcome their new pastor and his family.
Church members can help make the transition less difficult for their pastor and his family by being patient, offering forgiveness, showing them you care and praying for them.
The newsletter also offers information about ongoing events and free monthly webinars, including “Agribusiness and the Rural and Small-Town Congregation” at 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 23.
