Happy Easter to you from all of us at INSERT NAME OF CHURCH HERE! As you can imagine, we’ve been busy with Lenten Bible studies, preparing special music for Resurrection Sunday, and all of the usual events that you may remember from Easters past.
We celebrate the resurrection for many reasons: the fulfillment of prophecy, the triumphant joy of knowing our Christ lives, and the eternal promise of love, forgiveness, and freedom we find in Jesus Christ.
I pray that this letter finds you well during your service to your country. As your chaplain, I wanted to write you with some words of encouragement in carrying out your difficult endeavors. Your hard work is appreciated and we pray for your safety in the line of duty.
I just wanted to take a few moments to reach out and offer my support to you and your family during your son/daughter’s service in our armed forces. I feel that it is important to connect personally with the families of soldiers under my guidance as we are brought together in our concern for these brave young men and women.
Your family at [CHURCH NAME] would like to extend our prayers and support to you and your family this Christmas season while your husband is serving in the military. We applaud your strength.
The Bible encourages us to find comfort in our brothers and sisters in Christ and I want you to know that we are here for you. I can only imagine how difficult this can be, especially during the holidays.
I just wanted to take a moment to offer my prayers and counsel during your service to your country this Christmas. I know it can be difficult to be separated from your loved ones during the holidays but you should know that our love and prayers are with you.
