2 Corinthians 3:18
All of us are looking with unveiled faces at the glory of the Lord as if we were looking in a mirror. We are being transformed into that same image from one degree of glory to the next degree of glory. This comes from the Lord, who is the spirit.

What’s an honorarium and what does it cover?
The honorarium covers the pastor’s time with the family, organizing the service and/or eulogy and presiding over the chapel and/or graveside service. The honorarium is usually in the range of $200-500 depending on the amount of involvement at the discretion of the family members. This is typically given after the service but family will have the option to give beforehand or the day after the service. If the chapel and/or graveside service will be outside the metro Atlanta area or in another state, travel expenses will be worked out prior to the service.
Members of Loganville First United Methodist Church do not need to give an honorarium to the pastor. If they are inclined to share a gift of gratitude, they can make a donation to Loganville First UMC with “Pastor’s Discretionary Fund".
These funds will be used towards new ministry ideas for Loganville First UMC.
