Gifts for Clergy Benjamin Franklin said, "The most acceptable service of God is doing good to man." Those that devote their time and energies to our spiritual well-being are worthy of our utmost attention. We hope you'll find some inspiration in the following ideas. House Calls. Offer to visit ill or hospitalized members of his or her congregation or to take meals to shut-ins. At Your Service. Provide, or arrange for, regular gardening, lawn, or housekeeping services for the house of worship or the clergyman's residence. A Night on the Town. Arrange an evening out for the clergyman and his wife and baby-sitting services for their children. You’re Invited. Host a reception in her honor. Invite attendees to contribute notes, cards, letters, or pictures to place into a scrapbook expressing thanks and appreciation for the clergy’s service. Outside Interest. Give a book, magazine subscription, or other gift relating to the clergyperson's interests outside of his or her regular ecclesiastical duties. See relevant interest categories under Gifts by Passion. Help Wanted. Volunteer your services to help answer the telephones, or to perform bookkeeping, record keeping, filing, typing, word processing, or other clerical duties. Or contribute your time to a fund-raising activity or charitable event.
