Today I spent some time with one of the most incredible teams at Palm Valley Church: the office team. These dedicated gals do an incredible job setting the tone for our entire office. They answer phones, handle requests, assist the pastor, scramble to do whatever it takes for us to get the job done, and they do it all with incredible grace!

I was reminded that these gals do their work not as a job, but as a ministry. There’s no way they could have so much fun if this was a job to them; but they have a blast because they know they’re a part of the team, and their work makes a difference in the lives of people.

So, thanks again to the gals who make our office run, and help our pastors to focus on their leadership!

And if you’re a pastor, make sure you affirm and encourage your office team, they make or break you. In our case, they make us look much smarter and efficient than we really are!
