How Do You Say Thank You to Our Volunteers?
It’s the gesture that counts, you don’t have to go over the top in terms of what you say or how you thank someone who has volunteered and helped out.
A simple, “Thank you for your time and efforts,” is more than enough in most cases. If you want to add a little bit more, you can say something like:
“You are a blessing to our church community.”
“Your willingness to put yourself forward and lend your gifts and abilities not only helped with the task at hand but was an encouragement to others.”
“Thank you for being the kind of person who is always willing to lend a helping hand.”
“You are an integral part of our church community, and we are so grateful for everything you do.”
All of these sentiments are heartfelt and sincere ways to say thank you that will be appreciated by the recipient!
