From all of us at MHS, we wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season. May we be ever mindful of those less fortunate and those hurting and grieving during this special time of the year.

All of us have been touched by the events in recent days. Even though those events took place thousands of miles away, we are all grieved by the senseless loss of life. We will never know this side of Heaven why these events happen, but we can take solace in knowing that ultimately God is in control and He works even in tragedies such as this.

Please take time this Christmas to remember the true reason for the season – Jesus. Let us focus on His birth and the wonderful gift He gave us by bearing our sins on a cruel wooden cross some 2000 years ago so that we too might live with Him one day in Heaven.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and may God richly bless you and yours…
