Reach out to the new pastor's wife

Is there a new pastor at your church? Find out how you can best communicate care and acceptance to the new pastor's wife. We asked several pastors' wives to share what has been the most helpful and the most hurtful. Your caring and sensitive response and thoughtful actions may make a difference in her experience of connecting to others and staying long-term.

Leaders of After the Boxes Are Unpacked groups are the loving arms of this ministry. We thank God for all of you! We know how hard you work to reach out to women who are new.

JoAnn Smith and Debbie Reynolds are your partners in ministry and enthusiastic cheerleaders as you reach out to newcomers. Call, email or send them your questions, comments, thoughts, experiences, and a picture of your group to be featured in our Spotlight!
