ADMIN ASSISTANTS DAY
There’s a special day for everything these days, but our three main secretaries do a lot of work around here, so they deserve to be honored on this day!
MRS. MARICELA ESTACUY. Mrs. Maricela has a special balance of tenacity and personality. She’s not such a bulldog that she scares people, but she can get things done! She’s perfect for an office like ours—she’s always working on some kind of major print job, but she’s also ready to sit and chat with someone who needs to talk. I love that I can give her anything and know it will be done.
MRS. JAMIE RENCH My wife is also my secretary, and our relationship has only deepened through our work at the church together. Whatever event happens around here, Mrs. Jamie has basically single-handedly planned it. Not to take away from anyone else’s planning, but she’s the one that thinks of the details and keeps them on track. She helps me keep up with people, and she’s just really, really good at being a secretary. Not every pastor and wife could work together, but for us, it is great. She’s the best.
MRS. SHAE ROBERTS Mrs. Shae has hit her stride. She now has one entire calendar year under her belt, and she’s constantly refining our finances to show where every dollar is going. It is incredible work, and here’s the greatest miracle of all… she actually loves it! She also does our photography and social media, and I appreciate how things just run so smoothly without me ever having to push and prod. She has only enhanced our ministry since moving here, and I am so grateful.
Honorable mention: Mrs. Chris Rangel Mrs. Rangel still keeps records as our church clerk, and tracks the contributions every week. On paper she may only do a few hours per week, but who she is to our church is incalculable. I am so thankful for her continued contribution.
Church, thank these wonderful ladies for all their fine work behind the scenes. They’ve done far more than you (or I) will ever realize. I will give them a gift from the church, but I encourage you to use your words, write a little note, or send a little text to them. I know they’re more like “my” administrative assistants, but, really, they’re serving you. And they’re serving so well. God bless ’em!
