Celebrating Christmas with Hope for Healing

We’re beginning this season of celebrations remembering a year that began with optimism for the well-being of the nation. Within weeks, Covid-19 had infected the nation with fears of deprivation and death. However, America and the people of the world have refused to be defeated by this plague. 

So many are recovering from grief and sorrow, yet at this time of celebration we turn our hearts and minds to God’s gift of Christ Jesus with hope for healing. He will restore light to wherever darkness continues to persevere. Jesus proclaimed, “I am the light of the world.” “In me there is no darkness.” May the light of God’s love shine on you brightly. Merry Christmas.
