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.
I would like to invite you to participate in what I believe will be a spiritually enriching challenge this year. I am reaching out to members of the [CHURCH NAME] family through this letter to issue a challenge to read the Bible through in a year.
We would like to take a moment to let you know how much we have missed having you with us in our recent services. We greatly value you as an active member of our church family. Understandably, illness, travel, family responsibilities, and other things may temporarily impede one’s ability to regularly attend; however, I encourage you to consider the importance we place on having you with us. Your presence is a blessing to us!
It is with heavy hearts that we have learned of the recent loss of your business. During this difficult time, I would like to extend not only our deepest sympathy, but also the support and encouragement of your FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH family. We pray that God will give you and your loved ones the comfort, strength, and wisdom you need as you journey into a recovery phase in your lives.
