First Sunday in Advent Church Letter or Welcome

First Sunday 0f Advent Church Letter or Welcome

Greetings in Christ the Savior!

Thank you for joining us! Today marks the first Sunday in this time of the Church year that we call Advent. Although we celebrate this season each year, many are not sure what the season is all about. The word “Advent” simply means “arrival.” It is the manifestation of something long-awaited. It is a time that we reflect on Israel’s promised savior and remember his birth, as well as anticipate his return. It is a time of joyous remembrance and eager anticipation.

Second Sunday in Advent Church Letter or Welcome

Greetings in Jesus the King!

Welcome! Today is the second Sunday in the Advent season. Can you think of some of the Biblical themes of this season? Certainly, the love and faithfulness of God our Father is high up there, but have you ever considered the idea of hope? Although it may not be the first thing that comes to mind during the Christmas season, there is much to consider. Logged in Members, CLICK HERE to view and/or copy full text!

Fourth Sunday in Advent Church Letter or Welcome

Greetings in Jesus!

Welcome! We are inching ever closer to Christmas day, the day that we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the world. We are coming to that realization that God is in our midst. As the prophet says:

The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a mighty Savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in His love, He will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals.

Dear (FIRST NAME),

Greetings in Jesus Name!

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? Logged in Members, CLICK HERE to view and/or copy full text!

Sock and Blanket Drive for Homeless at Christmas

Dear Friends and Family of FCC,

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. Logged in Members, CLICK HERE to view and/or copy full text!

Senior Pastor Appreciation Letter to Staff – Christmas

Greetings!

I wanted to take this opportunity during the Christmas Season to express my thanks and appreciation for all you do, and more importantly WHO you are as we serve together here at (NAME OF CHURCH).

Perhaps as we work together on a regular basis, it might seem that we become used to it and fail to properly indicate how much we need each other, not only as staff members but also as brothers and sisters in Christ. Logged in Members, CLICK HERE to view and/or copy full text!

Thank You to Choir Director for Christmas Musical – Anointed! • ChurchLetters.org

Thank You to Choir Director for Christmas Musical – Anointed!

Greetings in Christ!

I wanted to take this opportunity to send a note to thank you for the Musical that was presented by the choir under your capable direction during this Christmas Season.

I must say that it was far more than just beautiful melody and harmony sung by gifted people whose voices were more than up to the task. Truly, the songs were songs of ministry accompanied by a precious anointing of the Holy Spirit. I believe the anointing makes all the difference as lives are touched in a far deeper way than any music or lyrics can do. Logged in Members, CLICK HERE to view and/or copy full text!
