Merry Christmas!

This Christmas season, as we gather with loved ones and reflect on the true meaning of the holiday, let us turn our hearts toward the profound message found in Second Corinthians, chapter nine, verse 15: "Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift." This verse is not just a reminder of the incredible gift of Jesus but also serves as an invitation for us to explore the nature of God's generosity and the role it plays within our families and communities.
