from the pastors at nvcf

I avoided saying have a Merry Christmas because we can not control the context we may all have when Christmas arrives.  Hopefully you will have a happy and merry Christmas but we all know that some will infact be facing lay offs and financial issues and other struggles as they go into these holidays. What is important is to remember that Jesus never wished us a “merry” good time.  What we can and should do is offering each other a “blessed” Christmas.  Infact when things are not merry and are hard for us, that is when we need His blessing the most.  So, I want to wish you all a blessed Christmas,  I ask for God’s grace to be your strength and His love to sustain you in the year that is coming.  Please remember that you are so special to God that he gave his one and only heavenly son for you on Calvary.  Please understand how much you are loved.
