Now, more than ever, we need to hear the message of the angels who come to shepherd vulnerable people like you and me who wonder, “Is the world we live in capable of being saved (salvaged)?” We are worried about fiscal cliffs, secure homes and schools, and losing freedoms. Is there a word from God that can offer any peace? Tonight for you is born a savior who is Christ the Lord!
