Christmas

Christmas is a time to celebrate the hope, peace, joy and love of Jesus. 

At the heart of this season is a story that has inspired generations: the moment God, in his love, came down to live among us. Through Jesus, God brought light to the darkness, peace that lasts and new life that changes everything. 

The Christmas story isn’t just history. It continues to inspire people all around the world, it invites us to pause and reflect, and it encourages us to share the same love that Jesus brought down with others. 

Get ready to celebrate!
