October is Pastor Appreciation Month.
Special Delivery - Deliver donuts or pizza, when the pastors are at the church office working.
Homemade Treats - What homemade treats does your pastor love to eat? Pie? Fudge? Cookies? Cinnamon rolls? Make your pastor something good to eat?
Make Banners - A group of kids can make banners and decorations that express their love for the pastor.
Pray for Your Pastor - Get a prayer group together to pray for your pastor and his family.
Write Your Appreciation - Express your appreciation through a letter or card.
Respond to the Sermon - Really hear what your pastor is preaching and commit yourself to respond and apply what you’ve learned. If it makes a positive difference in your life, let your pastor know. He preaches for a reason. He is happy when he finds out that the people at church apply what he is teaching.
Volunteer - When the pastor is trying to recruit volunteers, show that you support him and his visions by volunteering. Commit to being an active participant in your church. How can you volunteer at church.
Do a Skit - A group of kids can perform a skit at an appreciation party for the pastor.
Surprise Party - Throw a surprise party for your pastor. Give him a special gift, and maybe even some gag gifts.
Cleaning Day - Organize and recruit families to clean at the pastor’s house. Make a list of jobs that need to be done. Ask the pastor to add jobs to the list, too. Volunteers can: wash his car, vacuum the car, mow the lawn, pull weeds, prune trees, clean the garage, wash the outside of the windows, put on a new roof, paint the house, baby sit that night while the pastor and his wife go out for dinner.
