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!
Dear
On behalf of the leadership team of FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH, I am pleased to invite you to the Installation Service for our new pastor, the Rev. PASTOR’S NAME. We rejoice that the Lord has led our new pastor to lead our congregation and we are looking forward to celebrating this occasion as the family of God.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Doe:
In Matthew 25:44 of God’s Holy Word we read, “Then they all will answer saying, ‘Lord when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’”
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Blue:
As a member of our church, we are called upon in the book of Ephesians to encourage and support each other.
On Sunday, __________, our brother in Christ, Mr. __________ will be ordained as a minister of God’s word. His installation service will start at _____ P.M. in the church sanctuary and I encourage you to attend.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Blue: “I thank my God every time I remember you.” We read this verse of scripture in Philippians 1:3.
Just as Paul said it to the people he loved, so do I say it to you and our church family at First Christian Church. God has blessed me with a wonderful congregation of God-fearing people who are kind and caring.
The Pastors and Families of First Christian Church would like to thank everyone for your expression of love and support during Pastors Appreciation Month/Day. We are overwhelmed with the generous outpouring of thoughtful cards, letters, financial gifts, but most importantly your prayers as we continue to serve you and your loved ones in this community. It is a high honor to serve you, as we serve the Lord!
