Dear Friends, One of the most powerful statements by Jesus was when He said, You are the light of the world! and went on to say we are to let our light shine. Christmas is about lights. We decorate our homes and businesses in colorful lights, however most important to the Christmas season is the Light of God in you, me, and everyone. Jesus Christ came into the world to be an example of the Light and Love of God. In celebrating his birth, we celebrate the Truth of God that lives in us all. Join us on Christmas Even as we each light a candle, celebrate Jesus birth, and open our hearts in love and oneness. Along with our ministers, staff and Board of Directors, we wish everyone a Christmas that is wonder-filled, and a New Year that is abundant with new opportunities to shine your light. We invite you to bring your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to one of our holiday services. This is the greatest gift you could give. Christmas Blessings, Rev. Howard and Diane Caesar Saturday, December 24th CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLE LIGHTING SERVICES 2016 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm Sanctuary Give yourself an awesome gift by attending one of these beautiful heart opening services.
