PLEASE PRAY for peace in our world. Thank God that the word was made flesh and came to dwell among us, full of grace and truth. John 1:14. Help us to know that with confidence and to walk with Jesus every day.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Matthew 1: 18-end – 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
