The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” 29 But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. 30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” www.cccspringfield.com 301 5th Ave. West Springfield, Tennessee Church: 384-5825 Reverend Casey Sigmon (615) 689-9293 [email protected] December 21, 2014
