- One of the best gifts you can give a pastor and his family is a meal. This can be anything, from a large five-course meal to a pot of spaghetti. This will be especially appreciated if the pastor and his wife have children, as this gives them a break from having to cook dinner for the entire family.
- Another ideal gift is to do chores around the house for the pastor and his family. This includes (but is not limited to) mowing the lawn, washing windows and repairing something broken in the home for free if you are fluent in that area (e.g. heating and air repair). Additionally, you can also babysit for the pastor and his wife if the couple have small children so both can go on a small trip to relax for a while.
- Talk with a few people in the church and let everyone pitch in so you can get the couple a plaque to hang in the church. This plaque can state that it is a commemoration of the hours dedicated to the church by the pastor and his wife and should display the date it was created.
- A gift certificate may not be the most original gift, but it provides a lot of great opportunities for purchasing anything you want. Give a gift certificate to the pastor and his wife (or give one to the pastor and one to his wife) to any place the couple loves to frequent. If you want to make the gift certificate very special, allow everyone in the church to secretly pitch in and give half of the raised money to the pastor and the other half to his wife. It will come as a huge surprise and both the pastor and his wife will be thrilled by everyone's generosity.
