Monday Again

In only six days we will celebrate the great gift of the Christ child once again.  In the midst of it all – our family togetherness; the giving/receiving of gifts; the festive dinner; the reflective warmth that Christmas always invokes – let’s all take time to express our deep appreciation to the Father for His life-changing gift.  As Norman Vincent Peale once put it, “Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.”
Gloria joins me and all of us at the district office in expressing our genuine thanks for being involved with you in Kingdom ministry and to wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas.

Yesterday morning we enjoyed the high energy, interactive Kids program at Moncton – A Jingle Bell Rock. A very well done and joy filled presentation of the story of Christmas. Congrats to Liz Hoyt and her crew for a presentation of impact.
