Dear _______________:
Congratulations!
I wanted to write to you today to let you know just how impressed and proud I was to hear of your recent athletic accomplishment! Wow! I recognize this moment as the evident fruit of your labor and I know how hard you must have worked to get to this important milestone. Clearly, God has blessed you with a great set of skills and I am happy to see you using the gifts that He has given you in your pursuit of athletic excellence.
Dear Church Member:
We would like to take this opportunity to let you know that your FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH family is thinking about you and praying for you during this time that you are unable to join us for church services. We value you as an integral part of our church community and miss your presence among us. As we are sincerely interested in you, we greatly appreciate your contact with us whenever possible.
Dear Church Member:
Life is full of daily challenges, obstacles, disappointments, and other events that tend to isolate us, drain our energy, and even make us apathetic. During times when we are unable to get out of our homes and interact with others, conduct our routine tasks, or attend church to fellowship with others, we may become depressed and feel inclined to withdraw from others even further.
Dear Church Member:
Sometimes we find ourselves facing a tough situation and we may feel anxious, unprepared, or worried. We may experience these emotions if, for example, we become involved in a difficult legal situation. Activities within the judicial/legal system may be very complex, time-consuming, and expensive.
Dear Church Member:
Sometimes in life we are faced with difficulties and circumstances in which we feel uncertain, discouraged, afraid, or not in control. During these times, we may become withdrawn, resentful, or even overcome with a sense of hopelessness. Our faith may be tested and we may ultimately become apathetic. Challenging times such as these can have far-reaching impacts on both our personal and professional lives.
