These Pastor Appreciation Letter Samples are a great way for Churches to bless those who are serving the Lord in the calling of Pastor.
The Bible encourages us to “give honor where honor is due”. We believe this is both a wonderful thing to do, but also comes with great blessing for church leadership.
These letters are written by a Pastor with over 35 years of ministry experience. They will be a great addition to ministry efforts!
Whether it’s an invitation to a Pastor Appreciation Service or a letter asking for cards and notes for an appreciation book. Possibly a letter of invitation to a Pastor’s retirement banquet is what you need. You are sure to find letters you can easily modify and use! There are also some great ideas for Pastor Appreciation day too!
Warm Greetings in Christ!
It may seem a bit “early”, however, we wanted to give you notice well in advance of our Pastor's 25th Anniversary of ministry here at (NAME OF CHURCH). The actual Anniversary Celebration will take place September 24-25 of this year so be sure to reserve those dates on your calendar!
This may be used for bulletin or mailed directly to church family.
My family and I would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation and thanks for the kindness you have shown to us during this special time of showing your love and support to us. Your cards, notes, letters and gifts have been so kind and generous, yet let me assure you that it is your prayers that are most highly valued and needed.
Dear
October is here! It seems almost hard to believe, but this year is going by very quickly and we will soon be sharing Christmas news with you.
Many congregations and denominations have designated the month of October as “Pastor Appreciation Month” and use a portion of that month to honor their Pastor(s) in a variety of different ways. We too, believe in the importance of honoring those whom God has placed in our midst.
Warm Greetings!
On behalf of the Church Board, I am writing to extend an invitation to you to join us for Pastors Appreciation Day on Sunday, _________, 20__ as we extend our thanks and appreciation to Pastor John Doe for his ministry here at First Christian Church.
I just wanted to take a moment to briefly write to let you know how much I appreciate your work as Associate Pastor here at First Christian Church. What a joy it is to labor for the Master right here where God has placed us and our families. There is nothing so pleasing as being in the center of the will of God.
