I have noticed a bit of traffic in the blogasphere of people needing ideas for Pastor Appreciation Month. Here are a few very rough ideas to help you. And as a disclaimer, I do not post these for my church's interest or my own.
Pastor Appreciation Ideas
Pay off something he owes.
Give him a gift card to a store he enjoys.

Bring a gift a day for all of October. It could be anywhere from a chocolate bar to a new MP3 player.

Have him go to the local men’s store and pick out a new suit, two ties, 3 shirts, and a pair of shoes.
