These Church Benevolence Letters are a great way for churches to communicate effectively as they encourage people to bless and support this ministry that reaches so many who may be in need. Many are in the church already, while others are in the Community.
Written by a Pastor with over 35 years of ministry experience, they will be a great addition to your follow up efforts to reach your community for Christ!
With the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays just around the corner, we are taking this opportunity to send a note to all who attend here at (NAME OF CHURCH) so that we might share a very special way to get involved in being a blessing to someone in need.
As you know, this time of year not only is a tremendous time of celebrating our thankfulness to the Lord as well as celebrating His birth, but even in the midst of all the festivities that take place, we are often reminded of the difficulties people go through as well. While the intention for families is not usually the desire to “keep up with the Jones’s” so to speak, there is a desire on the part of parents to bless their children with a few gifts.
Once again we are nearing that wonderful time of year in which we express our thanks and appreciation to God for all His blessings in our lives as we celebrate Thanksgiving.
Some may look at Thanksgiving as a quick holiday before the Christmas Season, but in reality, this is an extremely meaningful time as we who have been created by God show our gratitude.
That time of year is upon us again. It is the time of great joy and good cheer. As Christmas approaches, we as the Church reflect upon the greatest gift imaginable, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Undoubtedly, many of you have already made plans and done your shopping. Perhaps you have already purchased or made that special something for someone close to you. This is one of the joys of the Christmas season, but have you considered why we give at Christmas?
Winter is rapidly approaching, and with winter comes the cold temperatures that present such a challenge for our homeless population.
For the past six years, FCC has been able to partner with Outreach Ministries, an organization dedicated to serving the homeless here in our city. Outreach provides weekly meals, counseling services, legal advice and social services to people who find themselves living on the streets. They also hold weekly Bible studies and a church service on Sunday mornings.
This time of year is amazing! It's a wonderful time when we cast our focus on the miracle of Christ's birth over 2,000 years ago as He left the splendor of heaven to humble Himself and walk the dusty roads of Israel speaking life and healing into the lives of the people.
I still believe we serve the same God today! How many lives we have seen come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and their lives have been completely changed by His power. For people who know the Lord, it's so much more than endless gifts and expenses at this time of year, but it's about living a relationship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords on a daily basis.
