Dear _____________,

We miss you!  Our records indicate that you have not shared in worship with us for at least a year.  We are concerned and want to make sure you have some source of support in your Christian faith.  We apologize if something occurred to drive a wedge between you and the church.  We encourage you to continue seeking God’s love and forgiveness here at First Lutheran Church.

Please check the area most appropriate for your situation and return this page to the church office using the enclosed envelope.

Name:______________________________________________

___	If you wish to remain a member of First Lutheran Church, welcome back! 
 	We would like an opportunity to visit with you and find ways to encourage
 	your active membership in this congregation.  Please give us some possible
 	times that would be good for us to visit with you:

___	If you have found another church home, please know you will be missed.
	However, we are happy to know you are being nurtured by another church
 	family.

___	Should you wish to be removed from our membership for some other
 	reason, please let us know.  We encourage you to find a church family, a
 	place where God can speak to you and give you saving love.

We pray that God will continue to be the source and goal of your life and that you return to our church family soon.  We look forward to hearing from you.

In Christ,

The Congregation Council
