Pastor Appreciation Month

October is the official Pastor Appreciation Month. And if you want to get technical, many churches will celebrate Pastor Appreciation Sunday on October 14th - the second Sunday of the month.

So what are your church's plans for Pastor Appreciation Month?

It's not too late to develop a good appreciation program, outing, or service.

Take a look at some of these pages to give you some ideas:

If you're not on the church leadership team then you probably don't have a lot of say in the official pastor appreciation festivities. But there are still a lot of things you can do as an individual. Read the following pages for some ideas:

  • 52 Ways to Encourage Your Pastor
    •
  • How to Pray for Your Pastor
    •
  • Give a Pastor Appreciation Gift
    •
    It's never too late.

    Start today!

    A New Pastor Gift Idea: I Never Met a Book I Didn't Like

    Well, OK, there are a few books that I probably don't like...but I bet they would still look good on my shelves!

    Years ago I was driving around Chicago with another pastor. All of a sudden he blurted out that he could "smell a bookstore." Sure enough, after looking around, we found a bookstore a few blocks away.

    What can I say ... pastors love books! So you can never go wrong giving your pastor a gift certificate from a good bookstore.
