Those are three of the most beautiful words to be arranged in a sentence you will ever hear!
As we move rapidly towards another Easter Sunday, or as some would call it…Resurrection Sunday, I want to take a moment to encourage you to invite your friends and neighbors out to church with you.
Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
While we are still at the beginning of another year, and even though we may not come out and say it out loud, we probably all think of things we would like to do better, and ways we can improve our lives so that when we get to the end of this year, we can look back and give thanks to God for helping us to do better.
I wanted to take a moment and send a note to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year!
In writing to the Church at Philippi Paul said in Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV); 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Well, it's that time of year again! Christmas is such a wonderful and joyous occasion as we celebrate the birth of Christ by giving gifts (and receiving some too), as well as spending time with families and loved ones, and so much more.
This letter is just a little reminder that while we are so blessed to share in the joys of Christmas, it can also be a very difficult time for families struggling financially during tough times.
With this in mind, we would like to provide an opportunity for all those who are able, to help us make Christmas just a bit brighter for some of our families within the church to make ends meet.
I wanted to take a moment to send this letter of appreciation for your generous offering of love on behalf of families in need here at the church during the Christmas Season.
Without a doubt, there aren't too many things a parent struggles with more than knowing they are going to have to try to find a way to explain to their children why Christmas is so different this year.
Job losses, the economic situation and many other factors affect so many people, yet we often don't think about the fact that it also affects the children, especially at this time of year.
