Week of December 15th 2024

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.  John 10: 10

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.  Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow – not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.  No power in the sky above or in the earth below – indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8: 38-39

Blankets – thank you for the donations!!  Keep them coming…we need them through out the year but especially now with the cool and sometimes really cold weather they are needed!   Thank YOU!

May we not be too busy at this time of year that we can’t enjoy it or to think about what it really means, Lord.  We thank You that You were willing to come to earth for us.
