Merry Christmas!
We hope you and your loved ones have a very Merry Christmas.
I hope you have a happy Christmas - meaningful gifts, some cookies, a good drink, food you like, a night with people you love, and a bonus at work - that would cover it.
But life is full of things that no amount of effort, money, time, or success on our part can change. A war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East, inflation, sickness and disease, family conflict, and social struggles.
These are all things that only good news can change.
Lets find great joy because of truly good news this Christmas.

Thank you to everyone who got the gifts back for the giving tree. I’m encouraged by your generosity!
Tree of Warmth
The tree of warmth is again functioning this year. Through the tree of warmth, we collect items to keep individuals warm.
Items from the tree are donated to Dix Street Elementary, Gilkey Elementary, Washington Street Elementary, and the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission.
This year we are especially focusing on
gloves! very low on gloves - both kids and men’s. Not women’s
hats
coats - new or lightly used
men’s and women’s underwear, all sizes
P.S. Have an acquaintance who needs hats, gloves, scarves, etc? Take some from the tree!
