specialmama Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm responding to a letter from our previous pastor. His closing caused me pause... I had never heard this before and I rather liked it. He said: I trust you have much to encourage you, Charles hmmm... yes, that was nice! Now my standard fare of In Christ; Affectionately; In Him; etc., just pales. What would you suggest? Do you have any Christianese closings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 My short closing is Blessings or God bless you and yours. My long one is may God open up the floodgates of Heaven and shower His blessings down upon you and your family. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 There's a latin phrase my friend uses-- Soli Deo Gloria I think it means all for God's glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 "Much love and many blessings" is my usual closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britomart Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I usually use "Peace of Christ to you". I adopted it from the passing of the peace in mass. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
