I bet most of you have gotten a card from our prayer group that meets on Thursday morning. My granddad and grandma both spent some time in the hospital this past month. When they got home, a card from our prayer group was waiting on them in the mail. You wouldn't believe what that did for their spirit! It let them know that someone was praying for them. Someone cared about them. 
 
What do you think a card or letter from a church member would do for someone who hasn't been to church in a while? It would no doubt bless them and remind them of how much their church loves them. 
 
Consider sending a card to someone. It shouldn't be a "Where have YOU been?!" type of card, of course! But simply tell them, "We love you and miss you and hope to see you soon!"
 
Idea #5 tomorrow!
