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!

At the time of Jesus' birth, the town of Nazareth only had about 200–400 people.

Scripture for the Week!

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 19:14

Prayer for the Week!

May the blessing of joy abide within you; May the blessing of peace rest upon you; May the blessing of love flow out through you; May all the blessings of the Lord be yours at Christmas. Amen.
