#2 – Show restraint when praising your pastorįrom my interactions with people, it’s common to hear individuals praising their pastors in front of others, especially guests. I can tell you, they will be most encouraged. Think of special quotes or bible verses to share with your pastor once in a while. In our electronic day and age, a short and simple email can often work magic in the world of encouragement. This also means that there needs to be a high level of trust between pastor and the rest of the church. Prayer is often the only way to find comfort and solace. This is a very heavy burden to carry-knowing the need and not being able to share the burden with someone else less they break confidence.
It is a sacred trust that pastors have to ensure that privacy and confidentiality is maintained. The basic question is “when?” Many things a pastor does remains confidential to the general congregation. The biggest challenge of any ministry worker is discouragement. I’ll call them the seven habits of highly appreciative congregation members: As October comes to a close, I would like to offer my thoughts about how best to show your appreciation to your pastor. Many people have been gracious and encouraging to me and my family. As a pastor, I feel privileged to be able to serve a small church here in Vancouver. In several places, if you do a search on Google, offers can be found about gifts and special things to do for your pastor. Having said that, appreciating your pastor need not be limited to October, right? I should have published this piece earlier. How do we show our appreciation to our pastors? Yes, I know, it’s the end of the month.
