Baptism Question: GIft for Pastor?

jpbling

I am embarrassed to ask this because I feel like I should know, but my daughter is getting baptized today, and I was wondering what I should do for a thank you for the pastor?

I was thinking of making a homemade card out of cardstock paper with DD's picture on the front, and then a check inside? I just am unsure on the amount. What do you think...$25? $50?

TIA!

For our son's baptism, we ended up giving about $50, I think.  In our baptism preparation class, they had suggested a donation of $5, but we felt that was much too low.

We just gave an offering of $100.

I didn't know it was customary to give something. We just put our normal offering in the plate. Eh. I guess it all works out. DH and I are pretty active in our church, so the church gets both our time and money.

We gave $50 and a framed photo of the church on the day the pastor married us (we did a candlelighting ceremony with the lights dimmed and everyone had a candle. the pastor admired it so much when he came to visit us before the Baptism that we made him a copy).
