We are writing to extend a warm invitation to you and your family to join us at [Your Church Name] during February as we celebrate Black History Month.
Throughout the month, we will be hosting special services and events to honor the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history and to connect it to our faith in Jesus Christ. The African American community has a rich history in the church, and we want to celebrate and recognize the impact of this community on our faith.
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.
As we prepare to “cross over” from this year to a new year, I'm reminded of a powerful story from Joshua 3:14-17, which, no doubt, will be familiar to most of you.
God's people had been delivered from slavery in Egypt after 400 years of serving the goals and agenda of godless leaders in a pagan nation. They then spent the next 40 years wandering in the wilderness as a result of disobedience, disbelief, and despair! Moses had passed away, and a new leader named Joshua was now leading the people into the land promised by God to His people.
As we close another year, I wanted to take this opportunity to first say “thank you” for your faithful giving to (NAME OF CHURCH).
Without people like you, it's evident that our ministry outreach here would not be as effective as it is.
Without a doubt, these past few years have been some of the most challenging for all of us in nearly every facet of life. The church is no different when it comes to facing challenges, yet the same God who has been with us before is still on the throne!
I am writing to extend a heartfelt thank you for joining us at [Your Church Name] for our Christmas Eve service. It was a joy to have you with us as we celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ, a time of great joy and reflection.
Your presence added to the warmth and spirit of our gathering. At [Your Church Name], we strive to create a welcoming and nurturing environment for all who walk through our doors, and we hope you felt the love and fellowship of our church family.
