Concerning the message in the church bulletin regarding sending a card to recovering servicemen....Last year we sent a card and it was sent back.

Walter Reed Army Medical Center will not accept mail that is not addressed to a specific serviceperson. HOWEVER, the good news is that you can send a card through the American Red Cross who will deliver it to a recovering soldier. The address is:

Christmas is a time to be happy! . A time for celebrating and sharing. For God stoops down to be one of us, born as a poor baby so that we can be rich.

He does not leave us to get along as best we can. He joins us where we are.

God is committed to us. Christmas is proof that God cares. That is why we celebrate - and show our care in turn to those who need it.

 Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.

Psalm 55:17



 

I John 3:1

Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us.

That we should be called the children of God.
