Pastor Appreciation Month - Limited Edition Print

October marks "Pastor Appreciation Month" and October 9th, 2011 is designated as "Pastor Appreciation Sunday." While it true that we appreciate our pastors every week, this is a prime day to tangibly show your pastor what his ministry has meant to you and your family. The truth is that for most of us, we treat our pastors like our doctor, we're thankful for them year round but only really engage with him when we're sick or needing something. But unlike your doctor, most pastors don't have the 6 figure salary or the beach house that are the tangible indicators of successful practice. What they instead have are you... the members of their church.

Each year thousands of ministers hear the call of God on their life to preach the word and respond by stepping out in faith and ministry. But each year, thousands of pastors also leave the ministry out of discouragement, frustration, burnout or failure. Ron DiCianni painted The Legacy to encourage pastors that their race, when run focused on Christ, is not run in vein. That each time they preach they stand in an unbroken line of witnesses whose legacy they continue. More than that though, in Hebrews 12:1 the Bible tells us that we are surrounded by a "great cloud of witnesses" that provides a reason to throw off the weight of what would hold us back and run the "race" before us with diligence, eyes fixed on Christ.

This Pastor's Appreciation Sunday, we encourage you consider presenting your pastor with a copy of Ron DiCianni's The Legacy as a tangible way to show your thanks for his ministry and encourage them that their race is not run unnoticed or in vein.

As a special way to make this print available, we have teamed up with Lifeway Christian Stores to create a very special paper print that you can purchase for Pastor Appreciation Sunday. This 14"×18" paper reproduction is hand signed by the artist and perfectly sized for inexpensive framing. This print is available in limited quantities from your local Lifeway Christian Bookstore.

Ron DiCianni Event For Thessolinka Family Services

Come join Ron DiCianni and his art at The Ponte Estate Winery on November 5, 2010 at 7:00pm for "A Evening of Arts in The Vineyards." This event is presented by Thessolinka Family Services for their Rancho Damacitas Community Group Homes.

More than 27 years ago Rancho Damacitas Children's Home was started here in the Temecula Valley by a loving couple with a big heart for children. They bought one home in Temecula, caring for four girls. Over the years this program has increased to include six homes, caring for 36 children. Also developed over the years were Rancho Jireh Foster Homes, and Project Independence. Collectively these three programs form Thessalonika Family Services, an incorporated 501©(3) nonprofit agency.

Guests will be able to see 25 of Ron DiCianni's signature pieces up close and personal, as well as enjoy poetry from the children of Rancho Damacitas. VIP ticket holders will also be able to attend a reception from 6:00pm - 7:00pm with DiCianni. This will be Ron DiCianni's largest Southern California showing to date!

Ron DiCianni's art will be available for purchase during the event, and significant portion of all sales will go directly to Rancho Damacitas.

Ticket prices are $15 per person, or $25 per person for VIP. For tickets, please call Thessolinka's ticket line at 951-302-7597.

Ponte Estate Winery is located at 35053 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591.
