A Pastor's week - Steve

Describe a typical day-by-day pastor’s week.

There must be time set aside for communion with God in Scripture and prayer, and for prayerful study of His Word, in preparation for preaching. There will be “interruptions” from parishioners and the community, which should be taken as part of the pastoral work, not interruptions from the “real” work of getting ready to lead worship and to preach. And there should be times set aside to intentionally get to know the flock, too. I set weekly deadlines to have sermons roughly finished by Thursday, and also take a day off besides Sunday to rest.
