During Christmas people seem a little more patient, caring and generous. Underneath it all,

Christmas is about love; true agape love seen in the arrival and sacrifice of Jesus.

Christmas is a season of joy, however most gauge joyfulness on circumstantial things. This season

is about the announcement of the Savior; the real reason for lasting joy in our lives.

Peace is not the absence of conflict as much as it is the presence of God. Emmanuel; God with us

brings peace even in the midst of chaos.

Jesus' arrival on earth was/ is a great source of hope to all people. He is the light of the world

and the darkness cannot overcome!

We are sent to call and equip new disciples under the power of the Holy Spirit
