PASTOR LANE'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

December, 2008

Dear Friend, 

     Over 2000 years ago, a baby was born, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger.  Who could believe that a family like this could overcome the rejection of the world.  No room for this family in Bethlehem of Judea.  But here is the rest of the story.

     Outside of the city, there were shepherds guarding their flocks of sheep when, suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them.  They were terrified.  The angel of the Lord said, "Don't be afraid.  For I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people."     

     The great news was this:  God has sent His son for US!  God's word, the Bible, gives us the answers to all problems of life! 

     The shepherds said, "Let us see this thing that the Lord has told us about."  Now, we, the children of God, have heard what the Bible has to say about the things we are going through.  Let us go to church, hear His word, the truth, and be set free!!  John 1:1 has this to say "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God".

     As Pastors, we pray you have a wonderful Christmas.  God loves you and so do we!  We pray a happy and properous new year for you.  

In His service,

Pastor James H. Lane
