Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Leslie and I want to wish you a "Merry Christmas"!!! This is the day which we celebrate God sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to Earth. His life was lived in perfection and then He sacrificially gave Himself to pay the punishment for our sins (the things that separate us from God). We want to invite you to read how to have a personal relationship with God by visiting this website:

The Back Story

A CBS film crew shot video at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The crew was on site for a story about the increased spiritual interest of college students and their involvement with Christian groups.

CBS shot the entire University of Wisconsin weekly meeting with footage of students streaming in. They also filmed an entire freshmen girls' dorm Bible study.

Two students were interviewed sharing how they left the party scene when their lives were changed by Jesus. Now they are leading Bible studies.

Christmas Greeting

Volume 1, Issue 4 - instead of a traditional newsletter, we wrote a Christmas greeting.

Joy is simply looking at its treasures. A Christian’s joy is in loving Christ and loving other people because Christ loves them; it is in doing good to others, and so having a Christmas perpetually.

It is in looking forward to that world of glory where we shall be like Him, and shall see Him as He is. “Where I am,” is a sweet assurance, “ye shall be also.” Jesus offers to fill our homes and our hearts with joy, if we will only let Him do it.
(God’s Little Christmas Book, pg. 138)

(In our mailed version of our newsletter, we also included our photo prayer card. We are including it here.)
