Does your pastor shake your hand before you leave the sanctuary on Sunday morning? If not, do it bother you? Is it easier or harder to get a chance to talk face to face with your pastor? Is this practice outdated? I'm part of a small church family and on Sunday morning right after service...When the congregation is exiting the sanctuary my pastor (son-law) is able to shake everyone's hand and say hello...I've notices alot of the congregants will stand in line just to shake the pastor hand...Some will make comments like good message pastor or I needed that word... Now I really never thought to much about pastors during this...But I read A recent post which talks about the growing disconnect between the pastor and the congregation in some churches...So my question is it important for you to shake the pastor hand?
