Christmas in Kirkby & Gt. Broughton

Transcription

1 Christmas in Kirkby & Gt. Broughton Message from Rev Dr Anne Heading In St Matthew s Gospel we read about the birth of Jesus: All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and His name shall be called Emmanuel (which means God with us) When Jesus is with us in our hearts, He brings forgiveness and peace. Do you know that peace this Christmas time?
