Greetings!

This email comes at probably the most hectic time of the year for church leaders. And, for good reason! You’re busy planning a candle-lit birthday party – or several identical birthday parties at different times in order to accommodate for seating and parking capacities – to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus. It’s a busy time!

At this time of the year, we thought it would be appropriate to simply thank you. Thank you for the hard work, creativity and prayer you’ve invested in planning Christmas services for your congregation. Thank you for the precious family and personal time you’ve sacrificed along the way. Thank you for continually lifting up Jesus, not just at Christmas but throughout the year, so people can join his Kingdom.

There’s one particular verse I think applies during times like these: “Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed” (Proverbs 11:25, NLT).

You’ve been generous this season. We pray, even in the midst of all the busyness in and around your church, God refreshes you.

Have a very Merry Christmas.

Serving Him together,

Kevin Carr
Development & Communications Officer
