Greetings!
I wanted to take a moment to welcome you to our Sweetheart Valentine's Banquet for the year of (YEAR)!
We are looking forward to a great time together tonight as we enjoy a great meal together and following the meal, a brief program you will enjoy!
While we have faced many challenges over the past few years, isn't it good to know that God sees it all? He has promised that He would never leave us or forsake us, and for that, we should be full of thanksgiving!
We wanted to take a moment to welcome each one of you today as we take some time during each one of our services during February to observe Black History Month.
Church Welcome – Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Weekend
Welcome to Church!
On this great weekend, we want to take this opportunity to welcome you to (NAME OF CHURCH) as we, first of all, honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but also as we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
While we could spend hours sharing some of the powerful quotes from Dr. King, I wanted to share a few as we open our service today. As you know, they are in complete agreement with the Word of God, which gives them an even more significant impact for not only us here today, but all of humanity:
We are so glad to have you with us today here at (NAME OF CHURCH)! This is a very special day as we take the time to “give honor where honor is due” and recognize and appreciate the Pastor(s) of our church during this Pastor's Appreciation Month.
Whether this is your first time with us or you are a regular attendee, we want you to know how much we appreciate having you here with us. We trust you will enjoy the service while experiencing the wonderful presence of the Lord as the service progresses.
We will take some time during this service to let our Pastor(s) and families know that we appreciate them so much. We value their ministry and will not only support them today, but will love and pray for them throughout the year. We trust you will join us!
Good morning!
We are so glad you have chosen to worship with us today here at (NAME OF CHURCH)! Whether you are joining us here in the Sanctuary or watching online, we trust that this service will be an encouragement to you!
Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a borrowed Donkey which was hardly the typical transportation for a King. The people believed this would be when they would finally break free from the oppressive Roman rule.
They waved palm branches and proclaimed praises to Him, yet those same people would be shouting a far different message just a few short days later. That message would be “crucify Him” as it became clear to them that His Kingdom would not be one that would overcome the Romans at that time.
