We hope these materials will give you a recipe for some fun this Christmas. We pray you have a wonderful time celebrating this year, as you experience the hope, peace, love and joy that Jesus offers each of us.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9:6
