December is associated with themes of rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings. As the last month of the year, it represents a transition point and the closing of one cycle before starting anew. Many cultures and traditions view this time as an opportunity for reflection, purification, and preparing for a fresh start.

CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS AND JESUS

Thought for the Week!

Jesus worked as a carpenter from ages 12 to 30, which means for 18 years; Jesus was akin to a day laborer.

Scripture for the Week!

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

Isaiah 7:14

Prayer for the Week!

Heavenly Father, I pray that during this holiday season, people would experience Your peace. That in the midst of all the hustle and bustle, they would take time to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life. And most importantly, they would remember the reason for the season – Your wonderful Son, Jesus. I pray that people would come to know Him as their personal Savior and have eternal life in Your kingdom. In His name, we pray, Amen.
