It's that time of year again that we as a Church family prayerfully consider how we are going to be a blessing to Missionaries around the World over the next 12 months.
Perhaps this is all new to you so let me take a moment to explain what this is all about.
Matthew 28:19-20 gives us the words of Christ in what many have called “The Great Commission.”
We are looking forward to our Annual Missionary Day Program here at First Christian Church on (Date) at 11 AM in our morning service.
As many of you know who have attended here for years, this is a very special day when we do our best to pledge our support to our Missions Program here at the Church.
We are so glad that you have chosen to worship with us today here at First Christian Church, and we trust that as you enter in that God will bless you richly.
In a moment we are going to pray that God will help us to focus our minds on the freedom that he has given to us, yet help us to also realize that this freedom was secured with a high price.
Good morning, and welcome to service here at (Name of Church).
Years ago there was a song that was sung that was quite simple but very powerful. One of the verses to this chorus simply said these words: “let's forget about ourselves, and concentrate on him and worship him.”
We want to welcome you today to our Father's Day service here at First Christian Church!
We realize that today there may be Fathers who are visiting for the very first time, as well as Fathers who have been regular attendees of our church. We know that life can be very challenging, especially for Fathers who have made up their minds to serve the Lord.
