A Vacation To Remember

What has God privileged you to own that your pastor does not own? Do you have a timeshare, a cabin, or a summer home? Do you own a boat, a camper, or a motor home? What do you possess that could make his family’s vacation a memorable one?

Pastors don’t have their weekends off – Saturday and Sunday are often the busiest days of the week. And most pastors I know take only one day off each week – typically Monday, though Tuesday and Thursday are also popular. So when it comes to weekend fun, they don’t usually think about camping or water skiing. They think about one-day trips with the family.

I’m sure that your church pays your pastor to take at least three weeks of vacation each year. Like you, he probably takes his family to visit cousins and grandparents during one or two of those weeks. But we all like to get away for a nice family vacation once or twice a year.

So do you have something that would make this year’s vacation extra special for your pastor?

A New Pastor Gift Idea: Can You Believe Those Gasoline Prices?

I’ve heard that gas prices in the USA are some of the cheapest in the world. So readers from Europe, Japan, and elsewhere will probably laugh a little bit about this complaint.

But as I write, gas prices have hit an all-time high in the USA. I think we all know what that has done to our personal finances. Any pay increase you’ve received from your job has gone directly into your gas tank!

Unfortunately, pastors can’t turn water into gasoline. So they are feeling the pain at the pump as well. So, if gas prices haven’t eaten up all your extra cash, how about buying your pastor a gift card from a gas station.

If you sacrifice a little and get a few other people to contribute as well, you might even be able to give your pastor a card worth half a tank of gas!

Serve a Pastor Roast

Some people sit around their Sunday lunch table and roast their pastor. That’s probably not such a great idea. However, a true pastor roast can be a fun and encouraging addition to any pastor appreciation event. Read More Here.
