If you are looking for the perfect way to preserve your appreciation message for retiring minister, the Pastor Going Away Gift Plaque is remarkably well-designed and detailed to perfection. The entire, 100 percent optical crystal piece tapers upward and is crowned with a gleaming star. The cross nestled inside the blossom on top and frosted into the body of the plaque are beautiful touches. The sample clergy retirement wording ideas engraved on this plaque would suit any going-away ministers, but feel free to personalize it to your own specifications. Our deep etch engraving is included at no additional cost.
The gold wording at the bottom of the plaque, “Go in peace, serve the Lord,” truly makes this pastoral retirement congratulation gift more of a holy token than a simple present.
Suitable for: Pastor Going Away Gift; Minister Going Away Gift; Clergy Retirement Gift; Gift Ideas for Retiring Minister
