Janet and I want to wish you a very blessed and Merry Christmas. This season reminds us that God sent Jesus so we could have peace with Him and never be alone—He is truly a very present help, whether life feels busy or quiet.

Christmas can be difficult if you’re feeling lonely, but because of Jesus, there is always hope and a place to belong. God puts the solitary into families, and through Christ and His Church, He welcomes us into a loving community where lives are restored.

This Christmas, remember that Jesus didn’t stay in the manger—He lived for us, died for us, rose again, and is alive today. If you can, join us in celebrating by attending a good Bible-believing church and worshiping our risen Savior. Merry Christmas to you.
