A very Merry Christmas to you and yours from Pastor Paul & Terri.

Could anyone have rejoiced more at the news of our Saviour’s birth than Eve, “the mother of all living”?

Mary, and Joseph, and the Baby Jesus are often referred to as “the Holy Family.” But their’s is not the only family where holiness ought to be the identifying characteristic.

The Christmas season isn’t all “mistletoe and holly.” After all, the reason Christmas brings “good tidings of great joy” is because Jesus came into a world of grief and sorrow.

There is no Christmas without the cross.

Jesus said, “No one comes to me except the Father draws him.” The Wise Men came to Jesus in the only way any of us can, by the drawing of the Holy Spirit.
