December 1st - Keeping Christ in Christmas
This Christmas season we would like to help each sister feel the "Reason for the Season" and help to bring Christ into their Christmas Celebrations more this year. A great way to do that is to go to the source- the scriptures- and learn about Christ: his birth, life, death and teaching. If you want a great way to study about the life of our Savior this month - think about reading the book of Luke. There are 24 chapters in Luke, and reading one chapter a night until Christmas Eve would be a great way to involve your family in scripture study and bring the spirit of Christ into our homes.
We wish each of you a wonderful Holiday Season and hope that you will feel the spirit of love, peace and charity this Christmas Season!
