National Administrative Professional's Day, which is on Wednesday, April 26 of this year (hint, hint), recognizes the professionals who keep an office running smoothly every day. They keep an office organized, efficient, and support those they work for by making them look good.
At the SYBA we understand the ministry that Administrators in church offices do each day. They are on the front lines. Their ministry extends not only to the pastors they serve but to church members, visitors, and all those they come in contact with during the business day. The work they do is invaluable to the growing of God's Kingdom...as well as for sharing information about the SYBA!
Thank you, Administrators, for serving the Lord in this vital capacity.
Not only do WE appreciate our church Administrator's work, but so do you! I've enjoyed receiving and reading your nominations for the gift card give away and I hope you do, too!

"...has a heart for advancing God's kingdom. Serving our community and doing everything possible to help eliminate all obstacles from someone having an eternity altering encounter with our great God. She loves her position and treats it as a mission field for reaching our community with Christ..." |
"...Without all of her tireless efforts and hard work...we would not be going nearly as well" |
"...is by far the best administrative professional that there is and ever will be. She is a gift from God and humbly does her work day after day, especially putting up with the pastors!" |
"...consistently goes above and beyond her role as an Administrative Assistant..." |
"...She does a fantastic job keeping us all together!" |
"...She works extremely hard managing our office, ministers, office administrative work and our financial records as well as greeting each person that comes into our church office and so much more..." |

There's still time to nominate your favorite SYBA Administrative Professional to be put into the drawing to win a $50 gift card to their favorite restaurant!

Pastoral ministry is tiring, draining and exhausting during normal times. A pastor's health is vitally important, and events of the past few years have been especially taxing on pastors, their families and their ministries. The Replenish retreat, for pastors and their families, is designed to help pastors replenish their marriage, their ministry and their mission.
Registration is $99 per room. For guests that will not be lodging, registration is $69. If you would like to extend your stay, please contact Gabrielle Seel prior to making those arrangements with Fort Caswell
