Dear Church,
As we rapidly approach the end of another year, we as a staff are praying and seeking the Lord’s will for the year that will soon be upon us.
Setting a budget for our church means that we take the time to evaluate the programs that we have been running, explore new possibilities, and talk with our finance people about what it will take to accomplish our goals in the new year.
Happy New Year!
Enclosed you will find your Church giving report for the past year of (YEAR). We want to thank you so much for your generous support.
On behalf of the leadership here at (NAME OF CHURCH), as well as the entire congregation, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for your faithfulness in giving.
Dear (FIRST NAME),
Greetings in Christ Jesus!
As you probably noticed, the weather is changing, and we are once again approaching that time of year. God has been doing great things this year through his people, right here, in this congregation. It is a great time for meditation. Have you stopped to reflect on how God has worked in your life this year?
The scriptures speak at length of God’s goodness. The Psalmist writes:
For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations. (Ps: 100:5 [ESV])
Dear (FIRST NAME),
Greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Summer has dwindled away, and once again we approach that great celebration of the birth of our Savior. If you have paid attention to recent events, the world seems to be in constant turmoil. When we observe the world, it can be difficult to be at peace and to have hope for the future.
As we approach this Christmas season, let us consider the peace that our God bestows upon us. The scriptures tell us that Jesus himself endured turmoil. “He came to his own,” John says, “But his own did not receive him” (Jn 1:11). Imagine the turmoil Jesus must have felt being rejected by his own people!
Dear (FIRST NAME),
Greetings in Christ!
As we approach the advent season, many of us will be preparing for company. The holidays are a wonderful time and often bring distant friends and family together for quality time to celebrate the coming of our Lord. Many of us are anticipating a lot of joy, laughs, and great food. Tables will be set and houses adorned with shining lights and many shades of green, red, and white. The glowing Christmas trees reminds us of the tree of life who is Christ.
