AS THE FAMILY of Christ at Faith Lutheran Church prepares for the celebration of Christmas, these articles give depth and meaning to this holy season and the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child. It is not just presents and decorations, parties and get-togethers; it is God's gift to all mankind of His Holy Son, Jesus Christ, that brings true joy and happiness to this Christmas season.
The thoughts and memories that are shared in these stories celebrate gifts that God gives us in Christmas--the special events, the special treats, the families, the friends, and most of all the celebration of the birth of Jesus. In these, God continues to give us the peace and joy of His Gift.
May the peace and joy of the Christ Child enfold and bless you and your loved ones this Christmas season.
In Christ, I am,
In His service and yours,
James C. Redmann, Pastor
