Christmas Greetings
December 20, 2024 12:00am
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…” so it's time for us to share Christmas joy and cheer with our friends here and around the world.
The missionaries that CF supports enjoy hearing from us every Christmas. Many say that CF is the only church where they receive a church-wide Christmas card.
Like last year, you are invited to share joy, peace, faith, and hope through words and pictures, using a virtual platform (Padlet), with the friends we send out and support in missions.
“Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Your padlet post (greeting, verse, quote, picture, graphic, etc.) will ENCOURAGE, and we trust BUILD UP those we support in missions. This is a simple way to apply the CF core value – Active in Mission – which says, “As a church, we support God’s mission globally, and we aim to live on mission for Him locally.”
Adding your post to the padlet is simple:
- You do not need a padlet account, and there is no need to login.
- Start by clicking on this padlet link – padlet.com/commfell/CFChristmascards
- Select and click on the individual padlet picture of your choice,
- Click on the + circle at the bottom right corner of your screen,
- Type and enter your message,
- Cut and paste the same message or graphic into multiple (1-26) padlets.
- You can send a personal post to one or all 26 missionaries if you prefer.
- Be creative by sharing appropriate seasonal graphics, pictures, and quotes.
- Add a post whether you know the person or not…this helps them feel connected to CF.
- CAUTION – when leaving a post on a padlet that has no picture and only has initials (examples – S&J G, D&A G) use extreme caution to not write the persons full name or refer to their title of “M…” or to the specific type of work they are involved with.
We encourage you - to take a few minutes – right now – to add your Christmas greeting to some or, better yet - ALL of the missionary Christmas padlets… padlet.com/commfell/CFChristmascards. The last day to participate in this opportunity will be Friday, December 20.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
