Creative Pastor Appreciation Ideas -- Guestbook for Pastor Appreciation Events October 17, 2023 |
Guestbook for Pastor Appreciation CelebrationsGuestbooks make Pastor Appreciation Events more memorable for several reasons: First of all, they provide a record of all those who registered their attendance. Included in the pages of the guestbook are names and dates and even comments.
By the way, As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. The guestbook above was published by me a few years ago. Guestbooks Are History Books of FaithYears from that specific event the pastor and spouse can review the names of people in that particular congregation.Each name has a story behind it, stories of people who came to faith through the pastor's ministry. Stories of the amazing grace of God in the lives of those in that church. Reflecting on the names in the guest register will spark memories of broken marriages healed and families re-united through the faithful ministry of the pastor. A Guestbook Is a Reminder of those Called to MinistryA guestbook will contain the names of people who responded to the call of God through the ministry efforts of the pastor.Those entries will bring to mind those serving as missionaries, pastors, or chaplains. A Guestbook Serves As a Prayer PrompterAs those names are read, God will prompt the pastor to pray for those who call him or her "Pastor".Those serving as pastors or youth pastors in other communities who first responded to serve God while attending church will be prayed for anew. There may be names of people who have turned away from God since they wrote their names in that guestbook. Those names will prompt the pastor to pray for them to turn back to God. Onward with purpose, Paul L. Slater
