Discovering the Meaning of Christmas.

For God so loved that He gave! Christmas defined, we are loved to love!

In Jesus, peace is a state of being resulting from accepting and abiding in God’s presence bringing spiritual restoration, mental release, and physical relief.

Hope defined: Faithful trust in God’s promises for the future in the midst of life’s trials even into eternity!

Through all of life’s trials, may the joy of the LORD be our strength–so be still and choose joy!

Our hospitality is rooted and grounded in God’s hospitality to us in Christ. As we learn to receive this, we will become more hospitable to God and to one another. This will make us a different kind of community.
