It's My Birthday

I came up with this pastor appreciation idea a couple years ago. Our pastor doesn't get paid for the hard work he does and the time he contributes to the house of God. So throughout the year each member of the congregation gives pastor a gift on their own birthday. That way everyone gets involved and pastor receives gifts all through the year. It is usually a monetary gift but whatever the Spirit puts on each person’s heart. This way all year long he receives gifts of appreciation not just on a special day. We call it, PASS THE GIFT, meaning if it's your birthday on that day you present him with your gift. I hope this works for you as it has for us.
