Church Absence Letter – Criticism Theme

Church Absence Letter – Criticism Theme

Warm greetings!

I wanted to take a moment to send this note to let you know that we have missed you at Church lately.

I certainly do understand that life gets busy quite quickly. Work schedules in addition to our family responsibilities sometimes be a real balancing act for daily lives.

There is just something about taking a break from all the things that clamor for our attention and spending time with the church family on a Sunday. Logged in Members, CLICK HERE to view and/or copy full text!

Invitation to Share on Church Wall of Thanks • ChurchLetters.org

Church Wall of Thanks

Greetings in Christ!

As we draw closer to the Holiday Season in which we celebrate a time of thankfulness just prior to remembering and appreciating the birth of our Savior, we thought it would be nice to observe the Thanksgiving season in a unique way.

During the month of November we will dedicate space on one of our walls in the church foyer as a “Wall of Thanks”. On this space we will hang paper, and we are asking each and every person who would like to share a thought, testimonial or drawing of what they are thankful for by using the supplied colored pencils to share.

Church Letter of Thanks to Worship Team Member

Church Letter of Thanks to Worship Team Member

Greetings in Christ!

Perhaps this letter seems a bit random, but I wanted to reach out to you as one of our worship team members to let you know just how much I appreciate your ministry here at (name of church).

I can’t imagine what it would be like to attend church without the beautiful sound of music filling the atmosphere with praise to God. Whether that sound is on the various instruments or vocal expression, there can be little doubt that such talents and gifts are a wonderful enhancement to all that takes place in service.

Dear (FIRST NAME),

Pastors and teachers both assume the awesome honor and responsibility of providing adults with deeper insight and understanding of God’s Word. As we both know, this job is satisfying, demanding, and challenging.

Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
