For those of you who are not aware, October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Don’t know what to do for your Pastor or Minister? Here are some suggestions from the Pastors Retreat Network:
12 Ways to Appreciate Your Minister
When we look at our minister what do we see? A spiritual giant? Someone who can go it alone? Someone who works a day and a half a week? A servant of the congregation? Someone who does it all?
The truth is that ministers are real people with real families, dreams, needs, desires and gifts. And like all of us, they shine best in situations where they are appreciated and supported. Here are a dozen ways you can bring out the best in your minister:
Jeff … I don’t think I would enjoy or even be in ministry if it wasn’t for the people willing to do some of the things on your list.
I really appreciate those who are willing to write a note or just say a sincere kind word. It recharges my battery and makes me want to try harder and do even more.
I hope everyone will read your list and take at least 1 off the list and do it. Don’t just think about it … do it!
Blessings…
Cool! Could you send this to all of our elders? On second thought, the pastoral elders probably need a month filled with appreciate acts, too.
