Will you celebrate the Christmas season with us?
All the gifts and gatherings and decorations and decatence... Christmas feels anything but simple.
But the very first Christmas was as simple as it gets. A young family, far from home, in a simple town. Hope arrived in the most ordinary of places, in the most ordinary of ways.
Since the beginning of time, this baby named Jesus, born in the quiet, was promised to be the hope of the world. The heavens and earth rejoiced! Will you rejoice with us?
