I wanted to take this opportunity to update you concerning an exciting development here at (NAME OF CHURCH), and one we believe will be beneficial in so many ways for years to come.
We are thrilled to announce we are going to be launching our church website on (DATE), and the domain address is going to be (WWW.DOMAINNAME.ORG).
(This is not a letter, but is great for snippets inside your own communication about this special day)
“Eighty-two percent of the unchurched are at least somewhat likely to attend church if invited.”
– Dr. Thom Rainer, The Unchurched Next Door
“Only two percent of church members invite an unchurched person to church. Ninety-eighty percent of church-goers never extend an invitation in a given year.” – Dr Thom Rainer, The Unchurched Next Door
“A study including more than 15,000 adults revealed that about two-thirds are willing to receive information about a local church from a family member and 56 percent from a friend or neighbor. The message is clear that the unchurched are open to conversations about church.” – Philip Nation, LifeWay Research
“Four percent of formerly churched adults are actively looking for a church to attend regularly (other than their previous church). Six percent would prefer to resume attending regularly in the same church they had attended. The largest group, 62 percent, is not actively looking but is open to the idea of attending church regularly again.”
– Scott McConnell, LifeWay Research
“Clearly we can encourage Christians to pray that the unchurched would sense God calling them back, but God works through His people.” “The survey showed that many would respond to an invitation from a friend or acquaintance (41 percent), their children (25 percent) or an adult family member (25 percent).” – Scott McConnell, LifeWay Research
“The issue of affinity also surfaced in the responses. Thirty–five percent indicated that they would be inspired to attend church ‘if I knew there were people like me there.'” – Scott McConnell, LifeWay Research
“Much to the surprise of the ‘Chicken Little' crowd, people are still going to church. And more people would attend if given one simple thing – an invitation.” – Philip Nation, LifeWay Research
What a joy it is to be able to give to the greatest work on this earth… the task of seeing lost souls won into the Kingdom of Christ through the local church!
The church would not nearly be as effective without the loving, sacrificial giving of God’s people and we are certainly no different here at (NAME OF CHURCH).
With all of the blessings that God bestows on us, it is important that we take the time to appreciate those who share his love and his Word with us. The Christian Life family has been very blessed to be the recipients and guests of the efforts of Pastor John Doe and on Wednesday, January 11th, we invite you to attend a service to honor his contributions to the church.
I wanted to take a few moments to send this letter to let you know that as the Pastor of (NAME OF CHURCH) am praying for you as you go through this difficult time in your life.
Without a doubt, during times like this I've had in my own life, I have turned to the Word of God for encouragement for my soul, and the Lord has come through in a great way time after time!
