On behalf of the Church Board and Congregation of First Christian Church, I am writing to express our appreciation for your willingness to accept God's call to the Missions field.
We believe that the call God has placed upon your life, coupled with your willingness to serve is an answer to prayer as we can read in: Luke 10:2 – He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
I wanted to take a moment to send you a brief note to express my personal appreciation for your ministry in music this past Sunday.
I truly felt that as you ministered, it was not for “entertainment” purposes, but you had a desire to lift up the Lord, and point people to the giver of your talent.
Dear
I wanted to take a moment to send a letter to the church body to give you some words of encouragement during these very challenging months as America and the world continue to struggle with economic hardship.
First of all, let me remind you of the most generous gift you and I have ever received, and that is the gift of our Salvation. With this wonderful gift, we also have the reminder of the reality that this world is not our home, and that we are just passing through. For those who depend on the world and it's system to make us “happy”, then this may not be good news, however, for those of us who have Christ as the source of our joy, we can truly rejoice that one day we will finally be home.
Dear
I trust you are doing well in the Lord today!
I wanted to take a moment to send you this letter of encouragement today as you walk through this moment of difficulty in your life. Notice I used the word “moment”, because I believe we are often captivated by what seems to be difficulties that will last “forever”, yet in light of eternity, it is just a moment!
The Bible says in Romans 8:28: (NKJV) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Dear (members),
I just wanted to write you today to let you know that my prayers are with you both as you await the arrival of the newest member of your family. Children are one of God’s greatest and most beautiful gifts, and the opportunity to be a parent is truly a blessing. I must stress to the both of you that patience is essential in a situation such as this.
