Dear Church Family,
Grace and peace be unto you in the name of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. I trust this letter finds you well and blessed. I am writing with
a heart filled with hope and a desire for healing, unity, and renewed fellowship
within our church.
In recent times, I have observed with a heavy heart the presence of discord and strained relationships among the body of believers. As followers of Christ, we are called to love one
another, to be peacemakers, and to forgive as we have been forgiven. It is
crucial for us to set aside our differences, embrace the spirit of humility,
and work towards restoring the harmony that once defined our fellowship.
The Bible teaches us in: Colossians 3:13
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of
you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
These words remind us of the divine example of forgiveness we have received
through Christ's sacrifice, and they challenge us to extend that same
forgiveness to our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Let us set aside ourgrievances, listen to one another's perspectives, and seek understanding. This journey toward reconciliation may require humility, vulnerability, and a
willingness to admit our shortcomings, but it is a path that leads to the
restoration of relationships and the strengthening of our church family.
May the Lord bless ourefforts and guide us on this journey of healing and restoration.
In Christ's love,
Bill Doane
