Merry Christmas

This is a very special time of year as Christians celebrated the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I hope that you and your family take the time during this season to read from the Bible the true Christmas story of God's amazing love in action. Too often we get so caught up in the hustle of buying presents for friends and family that we loose sight of the reason for the season. Studies have shown that during the holiday seasons between Thanksgiving and Christmas battling depression becomes a major concern for many.
.
If you are one of those individuals presently suffering from increasing anxiety related to the Christmas season please take a moment to stop and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. For starters, get your Bible and take a few minutes to read the Gospel accounts of the birth of Jesus, our Messiah (Matthew, chapters 1 and 2; Luke, chapter 2).
.
Also let me suggest that you ask God to show you some simple ways you can share the truth of Christmas with someone today who may be struggling with the pressure of the season.

Sherry and I (nanny and bops) wish you a Merry Christmas. Our prayer for you is that Christ would be the center of your focus this Christmas season, and that your relationship with HIM will be one of spiritual growth and vitiality. If you are not sure about what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I would love to visit with you about how you can know Christ. You can email me at stan@rockwaychurch.com.
