Yesterday was “Pastor’s Appreciation Day” and my school and parish staff went all out. They hosted a potluck lunch with LOTS of incredible food and desserts (sorry, doctors). Students made cards, some classrooms sent videos wishing me well, and one of the lower grades gave me a decorated pumpkin (it’s on the front doorstep of the rectory).
I also received specially-designed coasters and a branded polo shirt.
All in all, a pretty remarkable day. 🙂
