Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year! I can remember as a small child always thinking how long it took for Christmas to come, now that I'm older, it seems like it arrives a ot faster. During this wonderful, yet hectic time, we have to continue to reach out to our brothers and sisters in Christ that are less fortunate. As we rejoice and reflect on the birth of our Savior so many years ago, we have to remember the mission that He has set before us! We've accepted that mission and must move forward and constantly spread the good news of His wonderous love for us!

I pray that you each have a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year!!

Love in Christ,

Rev. Jerry Ethridge
