“Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the Lord with a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly.” — 1 Chronicles 29:9
The Lord loves a cheerful giver, and we recognize that you have gifted CHURCH NAME generously and willingly from your own resources. Without contributions like yours, we wouldn’t be able to carry out the mission of our church and its various ministries. Your gifts go a long way in supporting the ministries of our church—we recognize this, and we are thankful for it.
“And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
— Jeremiah 3:15
As pastors, we take on the shepherd’s role. It’s our job to seek after the Lord so that we are fed with His knowledge and understanding in order to lead His people.
For INSERT NUMBER of years, you have helped shepherd our church. You have worked to carry out the message and wisdom of Christ to our congregation.
On Sunday, December 24th at 9:00 and 11:00 am we will be celebrating our annual Christmas Eve services. Because Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year, we will be celebrating in our morning services and will not be holding a special service in the evening.
Welcome and Merry Christmas! We are halfway through our celebration of Christmas, and a brand new year is upon us yet again. The birth of Jesus signals a turning point in history, a new beginning of sorts. Similarly, the New Year prompts us to reflect on the pass and thank the Lord for his many blessings he has bestowed upon us in this past year. It is also a time for new beginnings. How fitting that the new year should fall just days after we celebrate the birth of Jesus!
As we rapidly approach the end of another year, we as a staff are praying and seeking the Lord’s will for the year that will soon be upon us.
Setting a budget for our church means that we take the time to evaluate the programs that we have been running, explore new possibilities, and talk with our finance people about what it will take to accomplish our goals in the new year.
