PASTORAL LETTER CHRISTMAS
Los Angeles, CA - December 13rd 2012
It is a distinct honor to proclaim all good wishes and every blessing in this Christmas season. With Advent initiating the church calendar the Service of the Nativity on Christians and others from many other perspectives especially in the advanced secular Christmas evening or day is awaited by
environment of the present time.
Still with all the commercial overtones, our faith communities invite all to celebrate this time of good will and renewal for the coming year. We invite all to join us in the Christian community, from whatever faith tradition in sharing thankfulness for all the benefits and blessings of the past year with a social opportunity to give society perspective in the time ahead.
As Christians, it is our belief that God came to us in human form with Christ as an infant in the manger. We pray for all the world that the grace of God will come to us all in our respective cities and countries.
With special thankfulness to those working and supporting the Free Church, and may the blessings of this joyous Christmas season descend on all cultures and peoples.
