THE BIG QUESTION?

If God were to take you home today... what would your wife and children hold in their hands tomorrow that would let them know that they were the treasures of your life?

THE RIGHT ANSWER... Letters from Dad

You will learn what it means to give THE BLESSING to your wife, children and grandchildren. In addition you will:

Learn to write the things you have always wanted to say but didn't know how.
Leave treasured letters of love that will be read long after you are gone.
Learn to speak and write these Blessings to your family.
Build deep and lasting relationships with other men in your Legacy Group.
Store, in letter form, the only 3 things that remain: Faith, Hope and Love.

Those are some powerful words, huh?   Well, what are the details?  Essentially this is a program that asks men to sign up to gather at Messiah 3 or 4 times to learn how to write letters to those who are significant in their lives- to our wives, our children, and our parents.  If you don’t have those same categories, you can write letters to mentors, coaches, grandchildren, etc.  When we gather there will be time for fellowship, a time where we study Scripture, and also a time to learn more about the lost art of letter writing.   Finally, within smaller groups we’ll work to put together the pieces so that we can actually write the letters and take time to reflect on the process with each other.  Between the sessions which will probably take place a month or so apart, you will deliver the letters to your loved ones and also work on devotions which help keep you active in the process so that it’s not simply a one day high followed by the “same-old”. 

When does this happen? Register now and the first session is Aug. 24th 7-8:30 pm (sessions 2, 3, 4 will follow based on our men’s time schedules)

Where will this happen?  At Messiah Lutheran Church

How much does it cost? The only cost is your curriculum and materials which you pay directly to Letters from Dad.  The costs range based on what your order and scholarships are available.

How do I register or learn more? You can speak to volunteers in the narthex after our worship services or contact Pastor Borkenhagen- 972-398-7500 or dborken@messiahlutheran.com
