The Work of Christmas Must Continue

When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
The work of Christmas begins:
           To find the lost,
           To heal the broken,
           To feed the hungry
           To release the prisoners,
           To rebuild the nations,
           To bring peace among people,
           To make music in the heart.


This is our calling, our ministry for 36 years.  Not only at Christmas but all year long.  Thank you all for allowing us to continue the work of Christmas. Your donations bless those who have nothing and allow us to be there for them, to share God's love, to continue the work of Christmas.

May we be given the courage to refuse to leave Christ only in Christmas but to follow in his footsteps by doing justice, loving mercy and walking humbly with our God “in season and out of season.” And may we be given the energy and imagination to ask “what child is this” of each and every member of God’s beloved human family as we go out to do the work of Christmas.

Your Missionary to the streets,

Dave Russell - Pastor/Director
