Re“Mark”able News - December 25 Christmas Day

Together in Faith: This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Luke 2:12

A child wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger is a sure sign of God’s love for the poor, the marginal, the needy. We wish a merry Christmas for all God’s children.
