We gave our pastor a fruit basket (they have 5 kids) and love offering.

Gave our son an epiphone electric guitar. We have heard the "Smoke on
the Water" riff way too many times now. :)

Gave everyone a new perfume or cologne set and Christian books: novels and devotionals.

Also some toys: Wii Play, dollies for the baby, and a Colts jersey for Sam.
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.

Jennifer, I thought Sam was a pastor. Has that changed, or are there multiple pastors in your church?

Tim, you missed all that. :)

In September, he resigned and is currently taking a sabbatical from
vocational ministry. We are part of a great church and looking forward to what God will do in the future with us here, or wherever he takes us in ministry.

Got it. What is Sam doing for a living, in the mean time? It's none of my business, of course, but I ask out of hope that things are going well. I wish you and your family the best.

We are okay, we both have jobs and the Lord is providing... and we're getting involved at our new church which is fun...So, overall, very blessed.:)
