Bethlehem on the night when Jesus was born. It is a song which
unites heaven and earth, giving praise and glory to heaven, and the
promise of peace to earth and all its people.
It is a song for every man or woman who keeps watch through the .
night, who hopes for a better world, who cares for others while humbly
seeking to do his or her duty.
Birthdays
Let us pause before the Child of Bethlehem during this Christmas Season. Let us allow our
hearts to be touched, let us not fear this. Let us not fear that our hearts be moved. We need this!
Breakfast/Lunch Menu
Let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of God; we need His embrace. God’s
embrace does not harm us. It gives us peace and strength.
