While there is indeed a lot of work involved, at the end of the day, ordination is never earned. It is a gift and a sign from God. So what can you say instead of “congrats”? Try: Blessings to you; God bless you; Thanks be to God, etc. May God continue to bless you! May the joy of God be with you and bless you forever. Congratulations! Lord walks with you every step of the way.
Give a brief word of affirmation and prayer on a Sunday morning. Include the pastor’s family’s photo in an October bulletin. Provide for and encourage time off for vacations. Take your pastor out for a meal and talk about his life, not ministry.
