To Our Faithful Church Leader: |
You are ... A man who teaches the word of God, the word of truth that gives the people power… the power of love… the love of God! A man who not only hugs the sheep, but touches the heart of his flock. A man whose singing brings light into dark places, and pierces the heart into conviction. A man whose smile actually means “I love you,” A man whose eyes say “I’m praying for you” A man whose lessons from the pulpit make you jump up and say “I can take on the world, bring it on!” A man we appreciate and love, and who we are proud to call “Our own!” |
To Our Co-Pastor: |
The wife of a Pastor is no ordinary role, it’s not for the jealous nor timid soul. So we take this moment without further ado, to say, we celebrate you. Though demands are never ending and recognitions are few, your smile is ever present, never stale, each one new. You’re an example to the sisters and encourager to the brothers, while obeying Christ’s command that we serve one another. You’re gloriously appreciated not only as his Virtuous Wife, but as Our Queen! |

Are you looking for a special way to say thank you to your pastor? Leading a church community is a big responsibility and an honorable commitment that affects so many lives — including yours. A pastor offers guidance, preaches wisdom and leads you in worship, all while caring for and counseling his congregation in times of crisis. You count on your pastor for baptisms, confirmations, weddings and funerals. You invite him to social events and trust his judgment. Your pastor’s wife is also always offering support. Don’t they deserve something in return?
When you’re looking for the perfect gift for your pastor and his wife, a Bible-shaped crystal gift plaque is a beautiful way to express your appreciation. You want to both acknowledge and honor your pastor while recognizing the effort and sacrifice of his wife — and an award is a respectful, personalized way to show how grateful you are.
