Person of the MONTH
(August)
Larry Trotter – Pastor of Shepherding & Spiritual Formation
Honoring 35 Years of Service
North Wake has been richly blessed with tremendous faithfulness on the part of our staff! To help honor them, our elders want to invite you to help celebrate key anniversaries (10 years, 15 years, 20 years, etc.).
During the month of a staff member’s anniversary, a basket will be in the lobby for you to write notes of appreciation. If you are inclined you may include a gift card, monetary gift or any other creative way to show appreciation (i.e., provide a meal, use your mountain cabin, invite them to join you for lunch; basically anything that you can put inside a card).
There will be someone there to collect your cards at the end of each service during that month, so if you’re not here one week you have three more weeks to participate.
The basket will be limited to cards, but if you wish to bestow any packaged gifts you are encouraged to handle those individually and directly with the staff person being recognized.
