Dear Beloved Church Family,

As we enter this sacred and joyous season of Christmas, my heart is filled with gratitude and hope. The beauty of this time of year is not merely found in the lights, music, and gatherings, but in the profound truth that “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). God’s love was made visible in the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

This Christmas, as we reflect on the miracle of Emmanuel—God with us—may we be reminded of the peace, joy, and hope He brings to every heart that welcomes Him. In a world often marked by uncertainty, the birth of Christ assures us that God’s light shines brightest in the darkest places, offering salvation and eternal life to all who believe.

I want to take this moment to thank you, my dear church family, for your faithfulness, love, and support throughout this year. Together, we have prayed, worshiped, served, and supported one another through life’s highs and lows. You have been a testament to God’s grace, and I am so blessed to serve as your Overseer.

As we gather to celebrate this holy season, let us remember those in our community and beyond who are in need of the love and hope that only Christ can provide. Whether through a kind word, a helping hand, or an act of generosity, may we share the light of Jesus with everyone we encounter.

Let us also carry the spirit of Christmas into the new year, seeking to glorify God in all we do and to live as His witnesses in a world that desperately needs His saving Grace.

May your homes be filled with His peace, your hearts with His joy, and your lives with His abundant blessings. From my family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year overflowing with God’s grace.

 

With love and in His service,

 

Your brother in Christ,

Rodney Kennedy
