Merry Christmas!
The officers of this council would like to wish everyone a very Happy, Healthy and Blessed Christmas!
In your prayers, please remember those who are having a difficult time in this economic crisis, folks that lost jobs, our service men and women that are separated from their families while protecting us; remember the sick and elderly that may be alone. Please reach out to these members of our community and give them something a special gift - your friendship!
If you are able to, please consider donating non-perishable food items to our food collection stations in the church. The needy rely on your thoughfulness and generousity.
"Loving God, Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen."
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
