We are thrilled that you have chosen to worship with us on this final Sunday of (YEAR)!
While most of us here are looking forward to putting this year in the past and moving ahead with the New Year, let's remember that there is still some time left in this year!
While it hardly seems possible that another year is in the rear view mirror, it is indeed a fact.
I'm quite sure that this past year held many victories as well as many challenges. If your life is anything like mine, it can seem like you're on an intense roller coaster ride. Often we might feel like we didn't even sign up for the trip but we're on it anyway.
Well, one thing is for sure, and that is that this year will have its share of ups and downs as well.
I wanted to take a moment to send this note to let you know that we have missed you at Church lately.
I certainly do understand that life gets busy quite quickly. Work schedules in addition to our family responsibilities sometimes be a real balancing act for daily lives.
There is just something about taking a break from all the things that clamor for our attention and spending time with the church family on a Sunday.
Another year has come to a close, and as we embark on a new year, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how much we appreciate your faithful giving the ministry of (NAME OF CHURCH).
It is gifts like yours that continues to enable us to function as a healthy and vibrant church. We desire to continue to reach out into our community with love and concern, but most importantly the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Welcome to our Christmas Eve Service here at (NAME OF CHURCH). We are delighted that you and your family have chosen to take a few moments this evening to worship the Lord with us.
Over 2,000 years ago on a silent and holy night, the Savior of the World was born. Not in a Palace filled with pomp and circumstance, but in a lowly stable because there was no room for Mary and Joseph in the Inn.
