A BABY? WHATS ALL THIS ABOUT? Christmas is a party. Specifically, it is a birthday party for Jesus Birthdays are meant to be celebrated Thats why we say, "Happy Christmas" or "Mery Christmas." Don't you think t's a bit strange that at many Christmas parties these days the person whose birthday we are supposed to be celebrating is completely ignored? He's often left out or just thought of in passing at some point Although it's a busy time of the year, we want to invite you to pause for a moment to think about the real meaning of Christmas. Jesus was God's gift of himself, in human form, reaching out with the message that God loves you, God is with you, and God is for you. So, Christmas is a time to celebrate the fact that God loves you- and in fact all people, whoever they are In the busyness of Christmas, why not join us for just one hour to share in the reason for the season' and celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Son of God, God with us on earth?
