Classy Christmas Greetings from 1406 Mifflin!
Merry Christmas Friends and Family!
The students and I at 1406 Mifflin Street took a classy Christmas photo and wish you the best seasons greetings! See the photo posted for the classy pose! (L to R: Katie, Devon, Me, John)
As we enter this Christmas season, I want to take time to say “thank you!” for your continued prayer and support of my CCO Ministry at Juniata College!
Advent, a season of waiting for the arrival of the Savior, is a rich time of reflection through devotionals like “The Advent of Justice” and traditional hymns rich with hope and promise for the redeemer of all things.
Below are the ending lyrics of a hymn titled “This is the Christ”, recently re-composed by artist Sandra McCracken:
were earth a thousand times as fair
beset with gold and jewels rare
she yet were far too poor to be
a narrow cradle, Lord, for thee…
praise God upon his heavenly throne
who gave to us his only son
for this his hosts on joyful wing
a blest New Year of mercy sing.
this is the Christ, our God and Lord
who in all need shall aid afford
he will himself our savior be
and from our sins will set us free
What a joy it is to know that despite our brokenness his grace enters and gives us new hope through the arrival of an infant. I am able to share the good news of Jesus’s birth, life, death, and resurrection to students because of how God showed his love for us.
It is such a blessing that you are helping me to do this!
Have a wonderful Christmas,
Lindsay
