Show your pastors your appreciation by serving them in some way. Show up and mow their lawn. Offer to help around the house with maintenance issues. Babysit their kids. Treat them to dinner or take them out for coffee. Take them golfing or fishing. The possibilities are endless! Get creative!
"Thank you, Pastor, for your dedication and service to our church community. Your wisdom and guidance have been so meaningful to my life." "We are blessed to have you as the shepherd of our congregation. Your sermons inspire us each week, and we thank you for all that you do."

Here is an example program: Worship Service: Start the event with a special worship service to give your pastor appreciation.

Make sure though you do not miss the most obvious, easily repeatable, and oft needed note of encouragements.

' I think a good pastor is somebody who is honest and humble and has a really caring heart. The relentless study of the Word of God is how God sanctifies and protects the pastor.
