Christmas 2012 from Recovery Christian Center:
"That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, 10 but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! 12 And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
15 When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. 17 After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. 18 All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, 19 but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. 20 The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them." Luke 2:8-20 NLT
This is the real reason for the season. The King of Kings and The Lords of Lords left his Throne in heaven and came into the world born in a manger, wrapped in rags to a poor mother and stepfather so that we might be redeemed. The best way we can celebrate it is by showing ourselves as examples of "Peace on earth and goodwill towards men." We should not forget that the true Spirit of Christmas is the Spirit of Christ and the best way we can get in the spirit is by sharing the unconditional love He shows us.
To all of us RCC, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We pray for the families of the children and
school staff lost in CT and for the children who survived and the first
responders who witnessed the aftermath that they may all heal. God put
ur loving arms around them and give them peace. I am completely at a
loss for words, but as a father that has lost a child to violence I feel
their pain. We must pull together as the Body of Christ to demonstrate
His love to these people in so much pain.
