Dear Chairman Board of Elders,. I am writing to withdraw my membership from Grace Community Church.In the case of a withdrawal a simple announcement that someone has withdrawn from the church should suffice. Keep it short and to the point. Write a long, nasty, mean-spirited letter to explain everything that they dislike about the church and articulate their own self-pity at length. I have the intention of writing and submitting a letter to the church I was a part of that would basically entail withdrawing my membership. I have struggled with addiction. Membership withdrawn. I wish to bring to your attention a matter of personal significance- my decision to end my membership with our church. The revival of 1835 resulted in an appeal for missionaries from the United States.
