January 2012

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that 2012 is off to a good start!

After all of the presents are unwrapped and we start to put away the decorations, there is one present we hope stays in your heart throughout the year. The gift of Jesus at Christmas does not have to be a gift we unwrap and put among the other presents. Many of those are used once or twice before they lose their magic. For many of us, after Christmas is over, Jesus, like the wrapping paper, lights and decorations, is hidden away until next year.

You don’t have to have decorations, lights and presents to remember the spirit of Christmas and the greatest gift, a gift that continues to be valuable and new every day. Jesus came to us, living among us, that we might know life to the fullest.

We are blessed to be part of your life and continue to give thanks in this New Year for your children and the Pigtown community. This New Year, make your resolution to unwrap the present of Jesus everyday! Unlike other presents we have received, He requires no batteries, He is faithful, never breaking down or wearing out. There is no need to purchase the upgraded model, simply unwrap Christ, inviting Him into your life, and watch the blessings overflow.

In Christ,

The Power House Youth Team
