Show your pastors your appreciation by serving them in some way. Show up and mow their lawn. Offer to help around the house with maintenance issues. Babysit their kids. Treat them to dinner or take them out for coffee. Take them golfing or fishing. The possibilities are endless! Get creative!
Pastor, I am thankful for your faithful teaching of God's word. Each week, I have had the privilege of sitting under your faithful teaching of the Bible. Your preaching has been like a slow gospel drip that God has used to saturate my heart with a greater love for him.
“Your dedication to the Lord's work touches our hearts and souls daily.” “For your guidance, wisdom, and unwavering faith, we are forever grateful.” “You are a blessing to this church, and we thank God for you.” “Your words bring hope, and your actions bring love to our community.”
Guidelines for writing appreciation letters: State what you appreciate and briefly explain why. Do not add other news or information not related to the appreciative gesture. The message of appreciation should stand alone. Be brief, warm, and sincere.
