I want to say how very thankful I am for my life group and church family who recently helped with the children's play and Advent. When it was time to set up for the play or help decorate I would turn around and there they were, ready to help! I am so grateful for my church family.
Merry Christmas! Diana McMahon

Merry Christmas from
Social Rehabilitation Center Logos
.
..During this wonderful holiday season, I want to say thanks from my heart to each of you, my brothers and sisters, for the fact that your hearts are not crowded and
there are many Jesus'. I want to say thanks for your hands, that the Lord uses in service, for your feet, which confidently walks the paths of the Commandments to carry His word for those who despair and die alone. Thank you for the valuable things that I have acquired from you and with you. Thank you for your eyes, which see the troubles of others, for your ears, that they hear God's call: "Go Ahead." Together we are the family of Jesus, together we are one body. Together we are Joy, in the joy of the Lord, and Gratitude in the Grace of the Creator!...
Have a blessed Holiday in the Lord - Fr. Nicholas Ilnytsky, Founder of Social Rehabilitation Center Logos
