Dear (FIRST NAME)
Depending on how well you know me or pay attention to my sermons, you might think that my mom/parents brought me up well, or you might think I was raised in a barn. Of course, I’d like to think that you believe the former over the latter!
For what it’s worth, my mom/parents taught me to always send a thank-you note when someone has given a gift to me, whether that was a present with a bow, a check for my birthday, or an act of love and kindness.
Dear (FIRST NAME)
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
— Colossians 3:16
For years, you have helped bring the message and wisdom of Christ to our congregation. Through thoughtful planning, you have carried forth the good news of each season through the choir’s songs. Your musical direction has lifted the hearts of our people, inspired them to walk more closely with the Lord, and enhanced our weekly services.
Dear (FIRST NAME),
Greetings in Christ Jesus!
As you probably noticed, the weather is changing, and we are once again approaching that time of year. God has been doing great things this year through his people, right here, in this congregation. It is a great time for meditation. Have you stopped to reflect on how God has worked in your life this year?
The scriptures speak at length of God’s goodness. The Psalmist writes:
For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations. (Ps: 100:5 [ESV])
Dear (FIRST NAME),
Greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Summer has dwindled away, and once again we approach that great celebration of the birth of our Savior. If you have paid attention to recent events, the world seems to be in constant turmoil. When we observe the world, it can be difficult to be at peace and to have hope for the future.
As we approach this Christmas season, let us consider the peace that our God bestows upon us. The scriptures tell us that Jesus himself endured turmoil. “He came to his own,” John says, “But his own did not receive him” (Jn 1:11). Imagine the turmoil Jesus must have felt being rejected by his own people!
Greetings in Jesus Christ and welcome to First Christian Church!
Thank you for joining us! It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating New Year’s Day, and we are already most of the way through the year! Isn’t it amazing how time flies by so quickly?
Thanksgiving is now upon us!
