Luke 2:1-20, Key Verse: "But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.’"

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is the news that is full of hope for the whole world. Jesus took off the heavy yoke of our oppressor; he paid for all our sin from our past life. My life, which was going to eternal hell, changed radically to go to the heavenly home of God. What a great gift from God. How could we forget such a grace as this? With the help of God, we never will forget!

On December 18, we celebrated the Christmas Party; we prepared first by praying and inviting many. We made a serious mistake, like every year, because we prepared everything at the last minute: the theater, the food, the choir, because we are not talented in singing, acting or dancing. We all repented of this, and we talked about preparing ahead of time for next year. But by the grace of God, He heard our prayers and your prayers, and 27 people and 4 small children attended the Christmas Worship Service. On this occasion, Shepherdess Mary served the message, which she memorized; we all received the word with great joy, because she also reflected great joy in the message; we also had the drama, the choir, and a savory, delicious meal. Although there were many guests who did not come due to their jobs, we praise God who allowed us to enjoy his celestial birth.
