Christmas Message

Dear friends,
We thank God for having brought us this far.This is surely by grace.
We are aware of many who have lost their lives.
As we celebrate this 2011th year since Jesus was born, let us remember that there are so many of us who are not able to celebrate because they have no money or even food.
If you are aware of such a person please know that it is not his/her will.
He/she would also have liked to celebrate like you who has.
So find it in your heart to share out what you have with those who don't have.
And you will give meaning to this Christmas day.
Otherwise we wish you a merry Christmas.
