Text Your Pastor During Pastor Appreciation Week!
October is Pastor Appreciation Month when we celebrate and thank our pastors for their selfless service. Each year, churches across the denomination show appreciation for their pastors in a variety of ways: monetary gifts, acts of service, paid time off, special meals and other kinds of gifts. If your church does something already, we want to thank you for your kindness and encourage you to continue your traditions.
Additionally, we’re asking you to participate in something new. We would like for all our pastors’ phones to be flooded with gratitude and encouragement this year. We’re calling it: “Text Your Pastor.” Here’s how it works:
- Choose a week on the calendar for “Pastor Appreciation Week.”
- Gather a list of all the people in your church and divvy the names out among the days of the week.
- Order handout cards using the form below. Or use the files below to print or email your own.
- Distribute (in secret!) these cards to your membership with their assigned day.
We’ve surveyed many pastors and it is the thoughtful, specific messages of gratitude and encouragement from their people that means the very most. These testimonies mean that their ministry has made a difference and it will help propel them toward another year of work, sacrifice and service on your behalf. We hope you’ll consider participating.
