Jesus:
In Love, He came to teach the world
In Peace, He walked the earth
In Hope, He gave us all a chance to
choose a second birth
In Joy, He used his holiness to be our Christ and Lord
In Spirit, He is forever near to be our
true reward
May you, your families and all your
loved ones have a most
Blessed Christmas!

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.-Is 9:1, 5
