Faith @ Home - Wrapped in Love

FCC families, ministry leaders, and friends,

This Sunday we will light the final advent candle, the candle of love. As we wrap presents and maybe wrap ourselves in a blanket to stay cozy on cold, winter days, let's remember how Jesus came down and was wrapped in swaddling cloths and then later was wrapped in burial cloths because of his great love. May we feel wrapped in His love each day. In response, let's wrap others in love with hugs, kind words, thoughtful gestures, and prayer. Yes, Jesus loves you!

Bible Memory Challenge

For December your family is encouraged to memorize Luke 2:10-11.

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
