Emmanuel

We worship the God who is with us.  God sent a personal message to each of us when the angel appeared to Joseph.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21  She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." 22  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23  "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"— which means, "God with us."

Our God is not far off and removed from us.  He came to experience all that we experience.  God’s gift of himself to us is eternal, practical and personal.  Join us as we celebrate Emmanuel this Christmas Eve and 11:00 PM
