DESCRIPTION:Every July\, United Methodist churches across the connection be
 gin a new appointive year — the moment when the bishop and cabinet affir
 m pastoral appointments for the year ahead. It's a milestone worth celebra
 ting\, and we're grateful that Pastor Andrew Conard and Pastor Chantel Mak
 arawa are continuing to serve at McPherson First.\nOn Sunday\, July 5\, we
 're marking Pastor Appreciation Sunday with a congregation-wide welcome ba
 ck. This is our chance to express gratitude for the ways our pastors walk 
 alongside us through every season of life — preaching\, teaching\, prayi
 ng\, visiting\, leading\, and loving this community.\nThe centerpiece of t
 he celebration is a card shower for both pastors. Card baskets will be ava
 ilable in the sanctuary lobby for you to drop off a note of encouragement\
 , a written prayer\, or a word of thanks. If you won't be with us on July 
 5\, cards can be mailed to the church office in advance. If you'd like to 
 include a gift card as an extra blessing\, that's a thoughtful touch — b
 ut the words you write are what matters most.\nWorship at 8:30 AM and 10:1
 5 AM. Write from the heart and help us celebrate the pastoral relationship
 s God has given us. All are welcome.
