October is Pastor Appreciation Month

Throughout the month of October, we pause with grateful hearts to recognize and celebrate the pastors who faithfully walk alongside us in every season of life. Through worship and prayer, teaching and counsel, joyful celebrations and difficult moments, our pastors offer spiritual leadership, compassion, encouragement, and a steady reminder of God’s presence among us.

Here at Norfield Congregational Church, we give special thanks for the pastoral leadership of our Senior Minister, the Rev. Dr. Bernard R. Wilson and for the newest member of our clergy, the Rev. Martine Gloria Bruno, Interim Associate Minister for Children, Youth, and Families and for the many ways they share their gifts, their faith, and their hearts with our congregation and the wider community. Ministry often happens in ways we see—and in countless quiet ways we may never know.

During Pastor Appreciation Month, we invite you to take a moment to offer a word of thanks, send a note or card, share a favorite memory, or simply let our pastors know how their ministry has touched your life.

May we surround those who care so faithfully for others with the same love, encouragement, and prayers they so generously give to us.

With grateful hearts, we thank God for our pastors and for their faithful service to Norfield and beyond.
