Know What Pastor Appreciation Gift Ideas Fit Your Pastor

Our pastor is a sports fan so gifts such as sports memorabilia would be a good fit. His likes for whatever sport is in season seems to make an easy fit for all things sports.

He often uses sports related illustrations in his sermons and conversations, which means he relates to other sports minded people. 

Sport related gifts open wide the options for what do we give an avid sports fan.  More than just a spectator, he loves to be involved as a participant, too.  As we hear about favorite teams and their players as well as his own sporting exploits, ideas for what to give come rather easy.
