Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015

Christmas is not about giving and receiving gifts. Its about the birth of Baby Jesus in the manger... Jesus is the reason for the season!

Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Jesus Christ. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world. Shepherds, wise men, and angels all shared in the excitement of knowing about this great event. They knew this was no ordinary baby. The prophets had told of His coming hundreds of years before. The star stopped over Bethlehem just to mark the way for those who were looking for this special child.

Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength.

As we celebrate this Christmas

Remember to thank God above

For sending His Son to redeem us

And filling our hearts with love. . .
