And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God... —Luke 2:13
It's
the time of the year we wish you all a “Merry Christmas,” and our hope
is that this Christmas many more hearts will be merry by knowing our
dear Lord and Savior. And the joy of Christmas is not limited to His
birth. It is built even more on the triumph of His death and
resurrection—that gave meaning to His birth. We don’t usually think of a
person as a gift, but actually interpersonal relationships are the most
valued and cherished gifts of all. And the Bible teaches that God gave a
Person as a gift to every one of us, and that Person is Jesus Christ.
Let us rejoice with the angels and praise His holy name!
One
of the growing psychological problems facing people today is
loneliness, and one of the greatest ministries that a person can have
today is just being a good listener. That's what we have been focusing
on and have found many people are longing not only to be loved but to
have someone who will listen to them. The promises of God’s love and
forgiveness are real, sure, and available to all. When we love God with
all our hearts, then we have the capacity to love our neighbor, and we
have seen God work in wonderful ways for His glory.
As
a simple church in the Upper Midwest we are committed to loving
everyone, always and extending the hope and grace of Jesus. We had a
wonderful Thanksgiving and a full house with those from our fellowship
that had no other family to be with. What a joy that we can be the family
of God together and show God's love to the widows and orphans. It's
also great to be with the people of God no matter where you are. And
we are excited to be coming to Chico, California in a few weeks for a
Christmas Vacation. We travel from MN to CA on December 23, 2019 and
then from CA back to MN on January 3, 2020. We are looking forward to
seeing many of you again!
Below are a few pictures we pray bring a smile to you and remind you of the grace of God!

Again we look forward to seeing many of you for Christmas and we "thank you" for your prayers and support!
