Merry Christmas

We hope all of you are having a very Merry Christmas. We pray that your families will be blessed beyond measure in the coming year. I hope that in the midst of all of the presents and wonderful time we spend together today we will all reflect on Jesus, the greatest gift ever given.

"...But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus." Matthew 1:19-25


Merry Christmas!

Love,
Ben, Bethany and Jackson
