Merry Christmas!


                                                   “Candles of Advent”


                                         Light one candle in the night, 

                                         Light one candle of hope.

                                         Hope for the world to calm its fear,

                                         Hope for the news we long to hear,

                                         Hope in a child who will soon appear.

                                         Light one candle of hope.


                                          Advent candles warm and bright, 

                                          fill the world with radiant light. 

                                          Help us find the Promised One; 

                                           guide us to the child who will come.

                                           Light one candle of hope.


Merry Christmas to everyone!  We are here with family gathered around.  We are all feeling better and clearly on the mend. We feel so lucky at this time of year for all our many blessings, and we pray for peace in a world that needs it more than ever.  We hold you all in our thoughts and wish you all well.
