Good morning! We want to welcome those of you who have joined us for worship today on this Labor Day Weekend!
For some, this is the last chance to get away before Summer “closes down shop” for the year. We are grateful that YOU have chosen to be in the Lord's house this weekend!
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
Another school year has begun, and I want to take the time to encourage you as you go back to school and begin again in the classroom.
As their teacher, you have the unique privilege of being the hands and feet of Jesus to your students… and for some, you may be the first person who has ever done so. Your students will come to you from all walks of life, and I want to encourage you to take the time to get to know them and to get to know their stories.
We are so appreciative of all our volunteers here at (NAME OF CHURCH)! We wanted to be sure to send a personal note of Invitation to our Church Volunteer Appreciation Banquet.
This Banquet will be held on (DATE) at (PLACE) and will begin promptly at (TIME). We do encourage you to arrive at least 1/2 hour early to fellowship with one another before taking your seats about 10 minutes before starting time.
We are excited about the things God wants to do here at (NAME OF CHURCH) in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead!
While I have heard many say the following statement, it seems that perhaps Benjamin Franklin said it first: “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.”
If you're like me, you've found that time has a way of passing by quickly and that thing you mean to “get around to sometime” continues not to get done!
The Bible tells us in Hebrews 10:25 – 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
This scripture almost seems to be more difficult in this day we live as we seem to be busier than ever! I've often thought it would be wonderful if somehow we had an “eighth day of the week,” but sadly, we would find ways to fill that up as well.
