In writing Church Letters it is always of great benefit to share a particular passage of scripture that may be applicable to their situation at the time. In a very difficult circumstance, you can share that “God works all things together for good…”, or “weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning”.
Simply be aware of the situation, and mindful of any scriptures that will provide hope or healing, and encouragement.
Take a few moments to listen for the prompting of the Holy Spirit as you determine what scripture to place in the letter. As Ministry leaders, we must STILL believe God speaks to our hearts today as we assist others in the journey to heaven.
