to the grace given us.” Romans 12:6a

I want to thank each and everyone wo shared their gifts

and talents with us during our Advent Season. What a

truly remarkable and blessed season we had. There

were so many people involved in the behind the scenes

forward to what God has in store for us in this New Year

to come. May He continue to bless us as we serve Him.
