Gift Certificates: If you are honoring a pastor’s wedding anniversary with his wife, a gift certificate for a sumptuous dinner for two or a relaxing day at the spa is a beautiful gesture. If your pastor is into wine or a certain sport, get him and his wife a gift certificate to a vineyard or tickets to a game. The sky is the limit and depending on your budget, you have a lot of options.
Photo Project: Want to really make a memory? Then gather photos from your pastor’s tenure at your church or pictures highlighting a music minister’s successful projects and make a photo album or memory book. Collages are also an option. If you’d rather choose a single iconic photo blow-up, mat and frame, that’s a beautiful idea. If the arrangement is more casual, have members of the church family write short notes to the honoree that can be incorporated with the photographs.
