Churches can customize a birthday greeting, do a search within their church database for birthdays for the week, and send a birthday letter out to those celebrating a birthday that week. Pastors can set up a reminder in a computer program that will help them remember to send out a letter on the anniversary date of the death of a loved one in the church. Often, the most difficult times for someone losing a loved one is the anniversary of the death, or even the wedding anniversary. Church people frequently do things to bless a pastor and family. A meaningful "thank you" in response is always appreciated. Did a new family visit your church? Use the Visitors Letter section to follow up with them to let them know how much their visit was appreciated. How about sending a letter to the Parents on their child's first birthday? They will appreciate the fact that you have thought of them on a very special day.
You will also find that these letters provide a great starting point for developing your own letters. They can spark ideas and help you identify new opportunities for staying in touch with your congregation. Ministry Letters are not meant to take away the "personal touch" of a pastor. Instead, they are intended to assist the pastor in constructing appropriate letters, and may easily be modified to the personal style of the pastor.
