Pag« Six A Christmas Letter We are more and more becoming accustomed to living out "in the West" and we want to thank the many people who have made a sincere effort to make us feel at home here in Nyssa and Vale. It is always difficult to move into a new town and we appreciate your kindness. We also hope and pray that during 1975, by working together and with the help of God. our congregations may continue to grow and be more alive with the Spirit that God has promised to his children. Also during 1975 our family would like to extend to you and yours the warmest wishes for a blessed and meaningful New Year. And in the words of the Angel, may this Christmas bring peace on earth and good will towards men. Gods Blessings, Pastor. Carolyn and Wally- Schmidt Failli Luther» Chun h Dear Members and Friends. "And the word became flesh and dwelt among us full of grace and truth." That is what Christmas is all about. God keeping his promise to send mankind a savior. In that small stable in Bethle hem almost 2.000 years ago a great miracle happened. God became man. He became like one of us so that He might be able to show us salvation. The Christmas season is indeed a joyous time of the year. Christmas carols fill the air. bright lights sparkle up our tow ns and our homes and children wait in great antici pation to see if their wishes came true. But through all of the excitement, hustle and bustle of this busy season let us never lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. Our Lord and Savior.
