These Church Community Letters are a great way for Pastors and Churches to connect with those around them who may appreciate special words of recognition and announcements from the church.
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!
Whether it’s a letter to congratulate a Christian official who has been elected to office or a letter encouraging Christians to vote Godly values in an upcoming election, or even a letter of welcome to new families in the community, you are sure to find letters you can easily modify and use!
Dear
I wanted to take a moment to send this e-mail to encourage you to take a few moments on this day to remember and pray for those who became victims of the terrorist attack on our Nation on September 11th, 2001.
While that day seems so long ago, in a way, it seems like it was only yesterday as most people know exactly where they were, and what they were doing when they first heard the word of the attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.
Editor's Note: This letter has been prepared with the current crisis (as of 6/3/2020) in mind. We realize it hardly “covers all the bases”, but hopefully will be a letter you can use to reach out and encourage your church family during this difficult time. We are praying for the peace of God to prevail, and unity, within the Body of Christ so we can lead the way.

Dear Church Family,
Like you, my heart breaks with the brutal death of George Floyd.
The issue of racism has raged in this country for decades, and as we can see, it is still something that rips and tears at the heart of anyone who believes in the value of every God-created human being.
The Word of God makes it clear that Jesus looked far beyond the color of skin, or societal “norms” of even that day as He so often stopped to minister to the broken, downtrodden and rejected ones.
Greetings in Christ,
Sanctity of Life Sunday is on (DATE), and this year we will be dedicating time during the morning service for this essential day.
On January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. (January 22, 1973, was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in all 50 states.) Churches around the United States use the day to celebrate God's gift of life, commemorate the many lives lost to abortion, and commit themselves to protect human life at every stage.
Churches continue to recognize the third Sunday of January each year as National Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.
We are thrilled to have so many with us today who are the first to respond to our call in times of need. While we hope we never have to make that call, it's always comforting to know that help is a matter of minutes away. There have been a few times over the years we've even had to call for help even after gathering here for Church on a Sunday.
Warm Greetings!
What a tremendous privilege you have to work with the Children and Youth of our Community!
So often, I have heard of the great impact that sports, and more specifically, a coach has had on the development of not only an athlete, but also as that athlete takes on the role of adult as they work in their jobs and careers later in life.
