As I write this, I am reminded of watching Linus this past Sunday, at the end of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," repeating the Christmas story from Luke when asked what Christmas is about. Although we will not be gathering together in person this year for our Christmas Eve Services, we still have an opportunity to make a gift to strengthen our Church and its ministries. As this challenging year draws to a close, our Church faces a budget shortfall of nearly $19,000. Please prayerfully consider making an extra gift this holiday season. No gift is too small to make a difference. And each gift will allow us to continue to spread the good news that was announced one night long ago when an angel of the Lord said to the shepherds watching their flocks, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
