Dear Church Family,
As we enter the month of December, my heart is drawn again to the simple yet world-shaking truth of Christmas: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). In a world that is loud, hurried, and often confused, the truth stands like a steady light in the darkness. God himself stepped into our broken world in the person of Jesus Christ – not as an idea, not as a feeling, but as a real Savior who came to save sinners.

For many, December is the busiest month of the year. Our schedules are filled with shopping, school events, family gatherings, and travel. None of those things are wrong in themselves, but if we are not careful, we can rush through the very season that is meant to slow us down and point us to Christ.

Church family, I am grateful for you. I thank God for the way He is at work among us, even in ordinary and quiet ways. My prayer is that this December, our church would shine as a clear, Christ-centered witness:
a people who truly believe that God has come near in Jesus, and that this good news is for all who will repent and believe.

May the Lord fill your homes with His peace, your hearts with His joy, and our church with a renewed love for Christ and for one another.

From my heart to yours, have a blessed, Christ-centered Christmas.
In Christ,
Pastor Eddie
