• Sunday School lesson: "Thank God and Thank a Pastor," for kindergarten to 6th grade, with five opening activities, discussion questions and the passage printed in the text.
• Two pastor appreciation crafts: the Hands and Hearts card and the Growing in Christ card, each with a photo, a supply list and steps, plus words and Bible verses to write on any card.
• Two pastor appreciation coloring pages by Mandy Groce: "Thank You God for My Pastor" and "Thank You God for Everyday Heroes."
• Two printable thank-you cards for pastors: a full-page sheet to color, draw on and sign, and a fold-up card made from one sheet of paper.

Who it is for

Children's pastors, children's ministry directors, Sunday School teachers and children's church leaders who want the kids to take part in pastor appreciation. The crafts use paper, markers, scissors and glue. The thank-you sheet works for every age, from preschool up, and the same cards work for a children's pastor, a youth leader or a Sunday School teacher.

When is Pastor Appreciation Sunday?

Pastor Appreciation Sunday, also called Pastor Appreciation Day or Clergy Appreciation Day, is the second Sunday of October. Many churches treat all of October as Pastor Appreciation Month. Kids can help with a card, a coloring page, a prayer for the pastor in class, or a thank-you delivered in person.
