Many times the average church member does not consider the need to express an appreciative spirit toward the church’s pulpit minister and associates.  One will tip the waitress in the restaurant, the paper boy, mailman, beautician, delivery boy, etc. and yet forget the man who has committed his life in God’s service.  The month of October several years ago was designated as “Ministers’ Appreciation Month”. Not only during October, but would it not be grand if deserving Christian Ministers received some acts of appreciation, such as:

 1) Financing an overnighter for him & his wife, (child care provided)

 2) Prepare a surprise carry-in meal for him & his

 3) A gift certificate for 20 gallons of gas

 4) A invitation to attend a Dinner Theater, as one’s guest

 5) New suit of clothes or a pair of shoes

 6) Contributing toward him & his family to take a week’s vacation

 7) A note stating one would volunteer in his office five hours

 8) Free haircuts for a year

 9) New set of tires

10) Being your guest for supper on a regular once a quarter basis

11) A gift certificate at a flower shop - to be used for his wife

12) Oil changes & filters for his car for a year

13) Bible Program for his PC

14) New watch with an alarm and calendar

15) Membership for the year at a health club

16) A subscription to a periodical of something “good”

17) Recreate him (golf, fish, ball games, bowl, etc.)

18) Electronic Organizer

19) Cell Phone subscription for a limited period

20) Books, Videos, Pen Set, etc.

P.S.  Our shortage of Pulpit Ministers is growing more critical daily!
