From our church family to you and yours during this holiday season. We pray God's richest blessings on you as 2017 comes to a close and as 2018 soon opens. As we each remember the birth of God's dear Son into our world at this time, may Jesus, the King of glory, be born anew in our hearts.

Maranatha!
