Christmas Message 2024

“The people that walked in darkness has seen a great light!”

Christmas, a festival full of nostalgia. We sing for peace, yet don’t know how to find it. We wish each other happiness, yet it seems more challenging to be happy.  We buy each other presents, yet what we need is loving-affection. We sing to a child who is God, yet the child in our hearts may be lost.

Yes, it’s true. Yet, nostalgia allows us to discover that our natural-desires go far beyond what we may possess or enjoy.

Happy birthday Jesus, you show us your Light!
