Dear Parishioners,

Christmas is so special - - a feast second only to Easter. It’s a time to recognize God’s love and goodness in sending us His only Son; a time to remember that God now shares the same joys and sorrows that we do; a time to rejoice that Jesus offers each of us eternal life.

We welcome all of you - - those who celebrate with us regularly, and those who have been away for a while. We invite each of you to join us, and we ask that you bring others that they, too, may know the joy of deep faith in Christ Jesus.

We thank many of you for your kindness, support, encouragement and generosity during this past year. May Jesus, who first came to us as an infant, who freely gave Himself for us on the Cross and now reigns with Our Father, bless, protect and guide you, your families - - and our confused world.

   Merry CHRISTmas!
