Shepherd's Scroll
Faith Family,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I give thanks to our gracious God for putting you all in our lives. Your faithfulness and your enthusiasm fill my heart with joy and helps complete my hope in Christ. Every day I look forward to serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alongside each of you and growing in our discipleship journey together. As we journey through the Christmas Season, I thought I would share this with you. I cannot take credit or criticism for this, I found this on the Internet as I was doing research this past week. Hope you find it interesting.
