HI – I am trying to come up with something new myself. The last few years we have done things that each child could contribute their creativity to.
Hands – trace their hand, kids color, write their name and greeting to the pastors, then taped the hands to straws and made a bouquet for each pastor.
Puzzle Pieces – each child colored, signed and wrote greetings to pastors, then I made a giant THANK YOU on the wall of the children’s area out of the pieces.
Leaves – again kids colored and wrote their names and greetings and I made a wreath for each pastor.
Sheep – kids colored, wrote their names and greetings on sheep and then I posted them on the wall with a thank you to our shepherd pastors.
These are easy and no stress for the teachers to incorporate into their classroom time, no matter the age of the kids.

I love all the great ideas, especially the post-it-notes, im giving it a try. thanks God Bless. I will have the children sign & make a banner for Pastor this year. Last year i cut a postor board in half and had the kids decorate & sign it. I just filled in the front with pastor’s name, we also made one for associate pastor. They had a lot of fun doing it.

A couple of weeks ago, the kids in our children’s ministry made a picture collage for the pastor. We had all the kids sign their names on card stock and put that in a couple of the openings, added scripture in one opening and pictures of some children’s ministry activities in the rest. The kids presented it to Pastor Gary during our Sunday morning service along with a big hug before going to Children’s Church. I hope everyone is blessed with a pastor as awesome as ours!! We ALL love having him!!

There are great ideas posted here!! As far as our children’s ministry, we plan to use these ideas (some in kid-size portions) all year. Thanks for sharing.

Rose, I hope you enjoy this site as much as I have. It has been my favorite and I can’t wait to see what is in the weekly email.

Our church is still in the process of doing for our Pastor this month. I took all the sunday school classes and paired them up two at a time and each sunday we will having something small but uplifting for the pastor (and his wife). For instance last sunday, our preschoolers and early school grades all wrote or drawed thank you cards, most of our kids since at that age cant write drew heart picture cards that showed love for the pastor and then they stood in front of the pastor and sang a song. This sunday the next two older kids classes will be making monkey bread (some small dessert) and will hand out during sunday school and then will also write cards and sing a song for the pastor. The older groups will put together a basket full of “stuff” and another group will get certificates from their favorite restuarants. The teenagers will do a skit and present cards and poems. This way everyone can be involved. If there are any individuals that would rather do this on thier own then this can be done also.

One year we had 31 people (or couples) sign up for a different day of October. On their day they were to call the Pastor with word of encouragement, or send a note to arrive on their day, or take Pastor out to lunch, or deliver dinner for Pastor’s family, etc etc. Each could choose a way to encourage him in their own way. It took over a week for our Pastor to figure it out. Blessings abounded in many directions. He was most touched in the fact that everyone who participated let him know they were praying for him and his family. It was a great month!!

We have a pastor that is really easy to love and respect. The children really get along well with him and he makes them all feel very special. Last Wednesday, during our children’s activity time, each child was handed a stack of post-it notes. The question was ‘What do you like best about Pastor Gary’? The kids were given 30 seconds to write their answers (one answer per post-it) and use as many post-its as they could during that time. When finished, the kids took the post-its and placed them all over his pickup. HE LOVED IT!! He told the kids he was going to read each one and save them forever. It was a fun way to let him know they cared.
