Merry Christmas 2015

There’s a song in the air! There’s a star in the sky!
There’s a mother’s deep prayer, and a baby’s low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
There’s a tumult of joy o’er the wonderful birth,
For the Virgin’s sweet boy is the Lord of the earth.
Yes, the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
~  Josiah G. Holland (1819-1881)
There is always frantic preparation prior to the arrival of a baby. Do we have all we need? Is the room ready? Will the child be healthy? What will this child become? Can we be good parents? Yes, a newborn changes everything!
This week, we celebrate the coming of the Baby that changed everything. Your pastors and staff wish you the joys and blessings of His birth. As Holland continues:
We rejoice in the light, and we echo the song
That comes down through the night from the heavenly throng.
Yes! We shout to the lovely Evangel they bring,
And we greet in His cradle our Savior and King!
It is our prayer that He has come, not only into our world, but also into your heart and home. May you be blessed by His presence this week.
