These letters are a great way for Pastors to reach out to those who have been missing from the services for a while. Of course, the best option would always be a phone call or visit, but perhaps there are times a letter would be appropriate. They can either be used in Greeting Cards or Letters!
Written by a Pastor with over 35 years of ministry experience, they will be a great addition to ministry efforts!
Whether it’s a letter to an inactive member to determine membership intentions or a letter sharing the value of faithful church attendance, or even a general letter to someone who has been missing church, you are sure to find letters you can easily modify and use!
Greetings in Christ!
We trust you are doing well, and God is richly blessing your life!
We are writing this letter to you to determine your intentions regarding your membership status here at (NAME OF CHURCH). We've noticed you have not attended in some time, yet perhaps something has come up that has needed your attention during this period of absence.
Dear (Name),
I am writing to personally say that we miss you at church!
We care deeply for our members and visitors. In addition, we strive to be a community where people are known and loved. We want to let you know that we care about you and notice when you are unable to be with us.
I value you greatly and care genuinely about your walk with the Lord. If you have chosen to worship elsewhere, would you just let me know? I always like to know if I’m still your Pastor, so I know whether to reach out in times of need, etc.
Greetings in Christ!
The Bible tells us in Hebrews 10:25 – 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
This scripture almost seems to be more difficult in this day we live as we seem to be busier than ever! I've often thought it would be wonderful if somehow we had an “eighth day of the week,” but sadly, we would find ways to fill that up as well.
Dear (Name),
I am writing to personally say that your church family at Christian Life Church misses you. As you know we are committed to the person of Jesus Christ, and we base our teaching upon God’s revealed word, the Bible.
Greetings in Christ,
Kyle Idleman has a tremendous preaching/teaching series called “Not a Fan”, and with first glance at the title it might seem like the statement is being made that we shouldn't be a “fan” of Jesus, and really, this is what is being stated!
The idea though is that so many people are actually “fans” of Jesus and not “followers” of Jesus. When Jesus was here on the earth He had a lot of what would be considered “fans”.
