Warm Greetings in Christ!
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.
I write briefly to update the entire congregation on our special Easter Offering this past Sunday here at First Christian Church.
It is with a great sense of appreciation on behalf of the leadership to let you know that the total amount received in the Easter offering was $________!
Resurrection Greetings!
Isn't there just something beautiful about Spring? Whether a person lives in a warmer environment or they've endured months of blizzards and high winds, there's just something about this time of year that is exciting and life-giving.
Spring is also an exciting time of year as we celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Without a doubt, when coupled with his birth, these two events have shaped this world in ways one cannot even imagine as His life impacted so many in that day, as well as down through the ages.
Resurrection Greetings!
Luke 24:5-6 (NIV) 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:
The two angels that were sitting by the empty tomb of Christ asked the women who had come to bring spices to the tomb as a custom and sign of respect, “why do you seek the living among the dead”?
In this world, we often encounter people who might be somewhat similar in that they only view the Bible as a historical document and go to church as if they were going to a memorial service. We must know that Jesus is alive and is not among the dead! He lives and reigns in the hearts of believers, so there's no reason to be sad and somber. He lives!
Dear (member),
As we approach the season of celebrating the death and glorious resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I hope this letter finds you well. Our prayers are with you and your family and we would like for you to know that your presence is missed at services.
