Gift Ideas for Pastor, Minister, Priest
Someone who devotes his or her life to being a Pastor, Minister, Priest or other clergy member deserves to be recognized. The topic of what a parishioner or even the entire congregation should gift an admired Pastor comes regularly, especially for ordination anniversary milestones such as Golden Jubilee, Silver, Emerald etc.
After researching the views on gifts for Pastors, Ministers and Priests here are some guidelines that may be useful in making the decision.
To begin with, most Pastors, Ministers and Priests already have a Bible, and unless it is a display edition for use in the pulpit, a Bible may be a redundant present. Reference books that provide insight into the Bible are likely to be appreciated more by the receiver. There are only so many Bibles one can make use of, display and store. Many Pastor, Priest and Minister gifts do sadly end up in storage due to repetition of gift type. This why this guide to gifts for Pastors, Ministers and Priests is so useful.
The gift ideas featured include practical as well as decorative gifts and because they are all personalized they make very unique clergy ordination anniversary keepsakes. Some of the gifts featured are the anniversary of ordination specific but they can mostly be customized to reflect any ordination anniversary milestone or any clergy member. You can add script, Bible verse a personalized greeting, names and more.
Gifts Bought By The Congregation
If the church, parish, the congregation comes together to pay for the gift, the possibilities become more open. Gifts with a higher price point can include gift cards which are always welcome along with a nice suit! Pastors, Ministers and Priests will rarely spend money on clothes, yet a nice suit will be required for many occasions and as such a quality, well-tailored suit would be very welcome.
A gift card for a clothing retailer combines both these great Pastor, Minister, and Priest ordination anniversary gift ideas and gives them greater flexibility regarding their choices.
They can shop in their own time and of course ensure the design matches their size and personal taste.
Some Pastors, Ministers, and Priests welcome short break gifts, so they can have some personal time. Being a Pastor can be a 24/7 job as their doors and ears are always open so short breaks for rest and recuperation are much appreciated.
How about a pair of religious cufflinks to go with the suit or clothing gift card? Cufflinks with little golden crosses or the clergy's initials engraved on them are available. Gifting this to your Pastor, Priest or Minister on the anniversary of their ordination is a great idea.
Gifts for Young Pastors, Newly Ordained Minister, Priest
A young pastor who lives in a church-owned parsonage would appreciate new kitchen appliances or home furnishings. A parsonage is a great thing, but the goods in it may always be made much better by the congregation's gift of love. A new sofa or drapes chosen by the pastor and his wife might be a thoughtful gift that makes everyone happy.
Gift Baskets - filled by the congregation
An ordination anniversary gift basket can be made in a variety of ways. Request assistance from members of your congregation, family and friends. You can save money by having a large basket in a discreet location and having members load it with coffees, teas, cookies, muffins, novels, and so on. You can add handmade greetings cards (from the children) and personal messages of appreciation and thanks.
Congregation Photo Gift
How about a personalized thank you message from the congregation paired with a beautiful photo of them! This will take some organizing, but what a wonderful personal keepsake, perfect to honor the anniversary of the day your Pastor, Priest or Minister was ordained.
Personalized Gifts by Individuals
Personalized bookmarks are always a welcome gift. Your Pastor, Priest or Minister will read many books and dip in and out of a number of texts at any one time, so bookmarks are always useful and welcome as gifts.
Personalized commemorative watches may seem extravagant but as shown here, they can be purchased for under $60.
Personalized stained glass wall clocks with reference to the ordination anniversary milestone are beautiful decorative practical gifts.
Personalized desk tidy are always useful along with custom pens, rulers, clipboards, postits, journals, and other stationery, office-related gifts.
Gifts of Poetry
How about writing your Pastor, Priest, Minister a poem of thanks and appreciation? At the clergy member's ordination anniversary service, read loudly the poem you've written. As an alternative, it can be included in the event's program bulletin, which is distributed to members. The poem can be printed on a plaque, posted on your church's website, or included in the press release for your event. It can also be shared on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. It's entirely up to you how you want to publicize the fact that you've written the poem.
Why should we honor the Ordination Anniversary of a Priest, Pastor, or Minister?
When a Pastor, Priest or Minister is ordained into a church, he or she takes an oath to care for or oversee the congregation as a whole. He/she accepts the obligation of nurturing a person's spirit. The spiritual aspect of a Pastor, Priest or Minister's Anniversary should not be considered as a time to simply offer money and presents. Rather, it is a time when the entire congregation celebrates what God has given them in the shape of a Pastor, Priest or Minister.
Each year, take pride in knowing that you've grown wiser and smarter, and that your decision-making has improved overall with the support and education provided by your Pastor, Priest or Minister.
