A Message from Pastor Margaret…
The Greatest Love of All, the Christ Child!
It is once again that time of year, the season
of Advent, when we prepare ourselves to
celebrate the birth of our King of Kings,
Jesus Christ, the Son of God! It is a time of
wonderful Christmas Carols, and the beauty
of Christmas lights illuminates the streets,
and the scent of Christmas wreaths
decorated with red and gold brings joy to
our hearts. We are ready to take out our
Christmas decorations, share them with one
another, and brighten up our homes and
hearts! It is the time for delicious eggnog,
hot cocoa, and warm pies, fresh from the oven, (more)
