Brothers and Sisters,
During this wonderful time of year we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
What promise and hope this oft quoted scripture gives us. God loves each one of us so much that He sent Jesus so that we can partake of the joys of the atonement and have everlasting life! As we join our Christian brothers and sisters around the world this weekend, we invite you— wherever you may find yourself, physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally— to “come and see” (John 1:39) and be healed by the love of Jesus. Invite your family, friends, ministering families and neighbors, to our special Christmas Sunday church services at 1:30 pm, in person or via Zoom where beautiful messages of Jesus and lovely songs of praise will be shared.
The Bishopric has approved anyone who wants to remotely view our Christmas Sunday church services to visit our website at www.LittleValleyWard.com and clicking on “Stream Sacrament Meeting”. If not already installed click install Zoom. If already installed click “Launch Meeting”. (No password will be required on 12/25/2022). The stream will begin about 1:20 pm.
We love you and are excited to be taught Gospel Truths on Christmas Sunday by word and music as we worship the Lord Jesus with you.
