Good News - December 2020

This Christmas will be one where we truly celebrate the gift of life! In remembering the birth of Christ, we will be thanking Him that He has allowed our family to cel- ebrate together during this pandemic even if it has to be by Zoom! Rosby Glover, Executive Director, Mount Bethel Human Services, Inc. We have a three-year-old granddaughter named Ella Grace Grams (her initials and nickname are EGG). We look forward to gathering around this Christmas and teaching her. This is really the first Christmas that she can appreciate all the "goin's on" as my father used to say. We hope she will love Christmas and the Christ Child as much as we do. Samuel Lamerson, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Biblical Studies, Knox Theological Seminary We will be celebrating Christmas as we always do, with family and loved ones. Going to church and knowing the Real Reason for this special season - There will only be one difference, and that will be that we will be even more grateful that we know our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Sue Trombino, Founder, Women Impacting the Nation Christmas is the celebration of our Savior's birth! There are many going through very difficult times. But, the focus must remain on the true meaning of the season, which is our love and gratitude for His amazing sacrifice and love. I am reading the story of His birth each day and asking for a renewed sense of awe and wonder, just as the shepherds felt that night when they heard the Good News!! I'm asking Him to renew that excitement in me as we prepare to rejoice and give thanks! While cinnamon potpourri is simmering on the stove and Christmas music is play- ing in the background. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Tewannah Aman, Executive Director, Broward County Right to Life We are actually excited about making this Christmas a more intimate celebration of the birth of our Savior with our immediate family.
