Annual Pastor Appreciation Services
by Ruth Murray
(Riverside, CA)
Pastor Appreciation Celebration Event
We have a 3 day celebration that takes place once a year. While our goal is to show appreciation for our Pastor and Wife at this event, our church appreciation is expressed throughout the year.
Make Pastor Appreciation Services A Big Church Event
Beginning on a Friday night, we have a regular church service and invite other Churches and a keynote speaker.
On Saturday night we have a formal Pastor and Wife Appreciation Banquet (at a nice local hotel) to honor our Pastor and Wife.
We conclude our Pastor Appreciation Services on Sunday afternoon with a 3:30 service, inviting other churches and a keynote speaker.
Pastor Appreciation Money Gift
At this Service we present a financial pastor appreciation gift. We ask each church member to give $100.00 if they are able to. In addition each church ministry auxiliary in the Church has a goal to raise $1000.00.
This Pastor Appreciation financial gift from all members and ministries are given to the Pastor and Wife. There have been times when we have raised as much as $25,000.00 to express our appreciation at our annual church appreciation services.
