Christmas Blessings 2025

Isaiah the Prophet foretold God’s promise that even in the most difficult of times, when it feels as if hope has dimmed or been lost, that “You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.” (Isaiah 30:29)

As we journey through the seasons of Advent and Christmas, may the music we hear, the scriptures we read, the candles we light, and the celebration of Christ’s birth fill us with a song and fortify our hearts with gladness.

May our lives bear testimony to the one who will bid envy, strife, and discord cease, filling the whole world with heaven’s glory and peace.

Rejoicing with you that God is Emmanuel! Merry Christmas!
