New Year’s Letter – God is Still on the Throne

(Editor's Note: This letter is from 2021, directly following the Pandemic year of 2020.  It can still be easily modified to work for a different year because God is STILL on the throne!)

Warm Greetings!

As we embark upon a New Year, once again, we find that we are still dealing with this Pandemic in (COUNTRY). But, as you know, the entire world is going through much of the same.

I don't know about you, but perhaps there was a sense of hope last year at this time that as we turned the page on 2020, this would all be behind us within a few months. But that's not the case despite man's best efforts of masks, vaccines, and mandates!

While humanity can only do what we can in our strength, I want to remind you today that God is still on the Throne regardless of where we have been or where we are going!

Tornado Assistance Appeal Letter – Kentucky

Greetings in Christ,

I wanted to take this opportunity to get a note out to you as quickly as possible in light of the tragic scenes that we have seen unfolding in Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

While we prepare for the Christmas Holiday, many of those who have lost everything were also doing the same. While material things may be replaced, the loss of human life is devastating, to say the least. Our thoughts and many prayers go out to all who have loved ones lost in this disaster.

If you're like me, you want to do something that will make a difference as people struggle to get back on their feet in the days and weeks ahead.

Christmas Letter – It’s a Wonderful Life

Greetings in Christ!

One of the most popular Christmas movies is entitled: “It's a Wonderful Life.”

In this movie, George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart, became quite unhappy with his life through challenging events he encountered. While he had hopes and dreams of his own, due to the death of his Father, he felt “stuck” in his hometown as he took leadership of the Savings and Loan, soon to be defunct.

As it appeared that everything had been lost due to the wrong actions of “Mr. Potter,” he was moved to the edge of despair. He wondered aloud whether the town and world would have been better off if he had not been born.

I won't share any more of the story with you in case you haven't seen the movie, but I would highly recommend it for anyone to view who may need a reminder of the value of their life!

Christmas Letter – Keep Christ in Christmas

Warm Greetings!

As we once again come upon “the most wonderful time of the year”, I wanted to take this opportunity to share some words of encouragement with our church family.

This year, we are confronted with the real possibility that some of the gifts our children or grandchildren want may be on a ship off the coast of California! There seems to be an interruption in the supply chain, and while there is most likely much blame to go around for the situation, it's still a situation!

Someone has rightfully observed that we may have to get back to celebrating Christmas for what it's really all about, which is Jesus Christ!

Christmas Letter – Jesus Came to Give Life

Greetings in Christ!

Once again, we are coming to that special day of the year that we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I wanted to share a verse that we would not often associate with Christmas, but I believe it is relevant, especially in light of all we have faced over the past months.

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.

The Global Pandemic has impacted so many lives in a variety of ways. Last year at this time, there was so much division about the various opinions of how things should or should not be. It was hard to imagine things could be more divided at the time, but it seems the enemy is doing all he can to “divide and conquer.”
