Pastor Appreciation Kit

The 2010 Pastor Appreciation Kit is now available!

This kit offers nearly everything you need to plan, prepare, and put on a pastor appreciation event that will be remembered by everyone in your congregation. And more importantly, it will make your pastor feel loved and appreciated.

The kit is packed with information, planning strategies, bulletin covers, a skit, pastor and spouse gifts, a music accompaniment CD, and much more. When you receive your pastor appreciation kit, all you need to do is open it and put each piece into action.

In fact, in my opinion, the only thing missing from this kit is a group gift. A group gift can be a gift of money collected from the congregation. It might be a gift card. It could even be a weekend away to a favorite resort. When you combine a group gift with this pastor appreciation kit, you will develop and execute an event that is guaranteed to succeed.

Please Note: I can only send the kit to people in the USA. I cannot sell to people outside the States.

What’s Included

• Banner - This banner is professionally designed and created by a family-run Christian company which has produced over 75,000 banners. It measures 14 inches high by 5 feet long. It comes with grommets so that you can easily hang it wherever you want. It is a $50 value.




• Pastor and Spouse Gifts - Two gifts are included, one for your pastor and one for your pastor’s spouse. The gift for the woman is imported directly from Jerusalem in Israel. It is a moisturizing soap made of minerals from the Dead Sea in Southern Israel. The gift for the man is a finely crafted statue that depicts the Last Supper. It measures 8 inches long, 4 inches high, and three inches deep. Some are painted while most are ivory. These gifts are a $25 value. While these gifts are meaningful, they should not be a substitute for a group gift.



• Accompaniment CD - There are very few songs dedicated to pastor appreciation. One notable exception is Pastor Song, by Donna Jackson. This is a perfect song to show pastor appreciation. You can listen/watch the song here . This CD has a demo track, an accompaniment track with background vocals, an accompaniment track without background vocals, and a page with the lyrics written out. It is a $15 value.



• Greeting Card - The pastor appreciation kit includes a special greeting card designed just for pastors. Include a check or gift card and it will be ready to go.



• Humor Book - What pastor doesn’t like to spruce up his sermons with Christian jokes? This 255 page book is packed full with church jokes. It’s one more gift that will certainly provide your pastor with a smile. This book is a $10 value.
• Pastor Appreciation Workbook - The heart of the kit is a 30 page workbook that provides resources for planning and advertising your event. I sell the workbook elsewhere for $20.

What’s Included in the Workbook?

1. Quick Planning Guide - The planning guide includes ten rules of pastor appreciation, best planning strategies, brain storming idea starters, and a planning worksheet that will help you keep track of all the tasks your planning team has to accomplish.
2. Pastor Appreciation Sermon - Someone will probably have to speak at your service or event. What will they say?
3. Children's Sermon - Get your kids involved in your event. Bring them up on the stage and get ready to be surprised at their honesty, humor, and profound words.
4. Children's Skit - Your congregation will love seeing your young children proclaim their pastor appreciation... and your pastor will be blessed.
5. Children's Activity Sheet - Put this two-sided activity sheet in your bulletin and give your kids (and adults) something to keep them involved and engaged in your event.
6. Two Bulletin Covers - And speaking of bulletin, print out and copy one of these special pastor appreciation bulletin covers. They have messages that will certainly encourage your pastor.
7. Press Release - Get the news out to your community about your pastor appreciation event. Use my sample press release to help you submit your news to the local media outlets. It comes complete with a page of instructions to help make the process simple.
8. Newsletter Article - One of the most frequently requested resources at My-Pastor.com is for an article that can be printed in a church newsletter. The article is entitled, "Ten Questions that Will Encourage Your Pastor."
9. Announcement Letter to the Congregation - How do you inform your congregation without letting your pastor know about all your plans? I have a list of suggestions in the pastor appreciation workbook. One of the best ideas is sending out a letter directly to each person in the church. You can use my sample letter as a starting point.
10. Poster - Another way to help prepare your church for your pastor appreciation or anniversary event is to put up posters. The Pastor Appreciation Workbook contains an 8 1/2 by 11 inch full color poster for that purpose. Print out a few copies, fill in the date and time, and post throughout your church building.
11. Appreciation Post Cards - One way to tell your pastor how much you appreciate him is to write him a note of gratitude. The workbook has a page of postcards perfect for this purpose. Print out the page of four cards on heavier card stock. Give one out to each person and have them write a note of appreciation. The message on the front reads, "Pastor I am Moved to Gratitude Every Time God Brings You to My Mind."

How Much Does It Cost?

BUT I AM ALSO SELLING A SMALLER KIT FOR $60.00 plus $15 shipping. This kit includes all of the same items as the full kit - but does not include the three gifts. This smaller and less expensive kit includes the banner, a greeting card, my pastor appreciation workbook, and the accompaniment CD. I've created this smaller kit because of requests I've received.

So you can purchase the full kit, or the smaller kit and ask people to give their own gifts in addition to a group gift.

Note: I can only send this kit to people who live in the USA. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
