Last week was Pastor Appreciation Sunday at our church. I have been working with the children’s Sunday School class this month on making a gift for our pastors to help show our appreciation for all they do.
We made fall wreaths for each of them. The children and adults traced their hands on colorful scrapbooking paper. We cut out the hands and used markers to write the word “thank you” in many different languages on each hand. We got the list of foreign languages off the internet. The children had a great time learning to say thank you in so many different languages. This was a fun activity that involved many different age groups! We then took a piece of brown bulletin board paper and twisted it like a vine and made the base for the wreath out of that. The hands were glued on and an beautiful wired ribbon was added. Before giving the gifts, we added a tag that said, “No matter how you say it, we’re thankful for you!”
