As we come closer to Election Day, I wanted to take a few moments to send you this letter to encourage you to be sure to vote on (DATE).
However, before voting, I would like to ask you to do something of far greater importance, and that would be to PRAY for God's perfect will to be revealed in the upcoming election.
Veterans Day is a public holiday that is dedicated to honoring anyone who has served in the United States military. The holiday began as a day to remember the end of World War I and was declared a holiday by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. Originally known as Armistice Day, the holiday became Veterans Day in 1954. It is always officially observed on November 11th.
We would like to extend a warm welcome to you and are thrilled you chose to attend this special Thanksgiving Eve Service.
Quite often, during these busy days of fellowship, feasting, and football the most important thing can be overlooked. What is that? It is giving thanks to God for His outpouring of bountiful blessings in our lives.
God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good!
While a statement like that may sound a bit “cliche,” we must realize it's true! Much of the world considers Thanksgiving as just another excuse to throw a party or watch football all day, we, as believers, know it goes far deeper than that.
In addition, we know that Thanksgiving is not just a “day,” but it's a mindset! The Bible shares many scriptures on the importance of being thankful, giving thanks, and even entering into times of worship WITH thanksgiving!
Psalm 100:4 (NKJV) 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
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!
