Letter to Welcome New Movers into Area
06-05-2013
One of the great struggles in moving at times is that sense of "aloneness" that goes along with it. While some may appreciate that, most of us have a "built in" awareness of our need for fellowship and friendship with others. One of the best places to discover this is in the local church, and we believe you will enjoy getting to know the people who attend (NAME OF CHURCH)!

Visitor Follow Up to Visiting Fathers on Father's Day
06-05-2013
I wanted to take this opportunity to send you a note to let you know it was a privilege to have you as our guest here at NAME OF CHURCH this past Sunday morning for our Father's Day Service.
I trust you were warmly welcomed and made to feel "at home" as much as possible!
We have a wonderful church with some great men who love God, and are simply doing their best to please Him in all they say and do. Yet, I will be the first to tell you that there is not one man who attends here, including myself, that doesn't feel inadequate at times in so many areas of life.

Summer Stewardship Letter 2013
05-29-2013
While vacations are enjoyed by so many of our church family, and rightfully so I might add, the ministries of the church continue to move forward as lives are changed, marriages healed, and God is glorified through it all.
Stewardship of the resources God places in our hands extends so much further than even finances as prayers are also needed for our various ministries, including the general overall health of our church body.

Letter of Invitation to "I Love My Church Sunday"
05-29-2013
Well, we are going to give you an opportunity to not only say it, but also experience a special Sunday devoted to that simple thought!
I want to extend an invitation to you and your family to attend "I Love My Church Sunday" on Sunday September 8th here at (NAME OF CHURCH) at (TIME OF SERVICE).
I've often talked with preachers and yes, folks in the congregation and openly "dreamed" about a day in which everyone who calls the church their home church would attend. Often the comment that comes following that is "where would we put them all?"

Father's Day Invitation to Church 2013

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you and your family to our services on Father's Day 2013 here at the church.
One of the most powerful statements a Father can make is to attend church with his family. It speaks volumes to the next generation coming behind us, and goes a long way to develop the thought of attending church in the minds of our young people who will eventually will grow up to be leaders in their own homes.

A Special Tribute to Mothers
05-10-2013
The only way we can teach something is to know it first of all ourselves, as well as live it out in practice at every opportunity until it becomes not only "what we do", but "who we are". In other words, it becomes part of our character the more we do it. This applies to good things, as well as things that aren't traits we would like to have our children emulate.
Fearing, or honoring the Lord is often not something that simply comes naturally to a child, but they are taught this by mentors such as teachers, adults, and of course, parents.

In the past, you have been generous in your giving to the work of the church here in our community, and for that, we are grateful and appreciative. However, we are requesting that you would consider a special faith gift at this time, as well as some measure of monthly support even when you are not in the area.
I realize there are plenty of needs "out there", yet I know this church and it's mission are in your heart because you have given previously. If you're like me, you give to needs and projects that minister to you personally and are having a positive impact on people.

As we move rapidly towards another Easter Sunday, or as some would call it...Resurrection Sunday, I want to take a moment to encourage you to invite your friends and neighbors out to church with you.
Often, special days such as Easter, Christmas, and others are great times to give the invitation, and it's also a time people tend to be more responsive as well. Often, childhood memories of these times help them to think of some wonderful days from years ago, or, many people find themselves in more of a reflective and spiritual time due to so many messages regarding the special season around them.

Encouragement to Put God First in Life - God Will Provide
02-12-2013
Dear
In a world of mixed up priorities, it is so important to make frequent "trips" to the Word of God so that we can once again be reminded of the vital importance of allowing God first place in our lives.
When we study Matthew Chapter 6, we see that the Lord was talking about material needs which they had then, and we have now. Needs for things such as food and clothing, and of course there are other needs as well such as shelter and love, and more, yet the principle of Matthew 6 is to show that God is a providing God.

We are so grateful to God for His direction and guidance over the past 4 years as He has allowed us to congregate each and every week in the facilities of (NAME OF HOST CHURCH), and are so appreciative to the leadership and congregation for their generosity in so many ways.
Yet, with this in mind, we have a mission to fulfill and one of the essentials of that mission is to move into a building of our own where we can continue on the path of growth we have experienced both spirtually and numerically.

How Much Should I Pay a Minister or Pastor for Officiating a Wedding?
05-30-2012
This is a topic most ministers prefer to avoid when it comes to how much is fair when considering the time and service he/she offers when it's time to unite a couple in marriage.
However, when one looks at the overall expenses and activities associated with a wedding and reception, the cost or fee paid to a minister is an extremely small amount compared to the amounts paid for flowers, photographer, videographer, wedding coordinator, clothing rentals/purchases, reception dinners, DJ's, etc.!

Encourage People to Put God First during Election
03-20-2012
This is not always easy, as many of the issues are not "clear cut", and indeed while they may be clear to one person, it is not so clear to another. This is the reason why we must depend upon prayer and the Word of God to be our guide...not the charisma of a particular candidate, or even their promises. I believe we can even have discernment from the Holy Spirit to guide us far beyond the spoken words of a candidate or party.

Easter Letter - Emphasis on Inviting Friends
03-03-2012
This is not a challenge to invite people who may already be happily attending church somewhere else so that we can "build our numbers". No, in fact we are encouraging you to think of someone who might not be in church at all on Easter Sunday, and would be missing out on one of the most amazing days on the Christian worship calendar... Easter Sunday!

Encouragement Letter to Trust God, Not Abilities
02-25-2012
We must learn that whatever we give up for the obedience and glory of God has tremendous potential to be turned into a miracle that will not only bring freedom and deliverance to us, but to others as well.
As Moses threw down the rod, it was almost like a throwing down of his past efforts, abilities, and works. Then, God began to work miracles, and in the picking of it back up, God was preparing Moses to see powerful miracles as now HE was the one in control!

Encouragement Letter To Trust God and Not Be Bitter
02-25-2012
We sin when we express anger wrongly, and especially when we hold on to it for dear life. We think it might be for dear life, but it’s something that will slowly eat away at our joy and peace if we allow it to simmer and turn into bitterness.
The Bible even tells us to “not let the sun go down on our wrath”. In other words, in our relationships we really care deeply about, it is important to settle matters either together or in our hearts before going to sleep at night.

Your letters have been a great help to our ministry. You're right, thinking and thinking of what to say can wear you down ... so your letters have been a great help. The letters continue to be a blessing to both Andrae and myself..jpg)
"I hardly consider myself ever being at a loss for words, but churchletters.net has been an amazing blessing to me in reaching and connecting with friends, colleagues and ministry leaders. Sometimes I use an entire letter that speaks my heart. Other times I use just a phrase that helps me better articulate a letter I personally composed. I use it in letters, emails, and in sending messages to friends on my myspace page. It saves me alot of time in the writing process. Churchletters.net sort of reminds of me of a composer writing a great song for a singer to sing. It's really cool because people love being appreciated and edified. Appreciation always wins over self promotion!".jpg)
