Parenting is a tough job! As a single parent, the challenges of raising children by yourself can be particularly difficult. Not only are you a sympathetic and loving mother, but also a disciplinarian and provider at the same time. With so many demands and expectations placed on you, it is no wonder that being a single parent can be very stressful.
I write this letter to invite you and your congregation to a special service here at First Christian Church. I realize of course the “busy-ness” of our church calendars, but wanted to be sure to extend an open invitation to area churches to join with us, and since the service is on Sunday Afternoon, June 14 at 3:00 PM it should not interfere with your schedule.
I am writing to invite you to a weekend Pastor/Board Retreat to be held on Friday, __________, at ____P.M. at the _____________.
This retreat will be a time of fellowship and fun as well as a time to access our ministry, share ideas and the vision we have for our church’s future. We will be conducting a ministry evaluation and see where we have been, where we are and where we are going as a church.
In the past few months we have seen good growth here at First Christian Church, and it is exciting to be a part of seeing God move in our midst.
Many challenges face a growing church, and of course one of the challenges is to remain a church that still has a personal touch to it, while recognizing the need to grow as God would have us to do.
