Merry Christmas from your Northwest Conference staff
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,
On behalf of your Northwest Conference staff, I would like to extend greetings to you and wish you a blessed Christmas. As Rev. Glen Wiberg reminded the Twin City pastors at our recent Christmas gathering, "Let Jesus show" this season; a practice that has become increasingly difficult in our hurried schedules. May the Christ-child be born in each one of you in new and profound ways in the coming days.
"O Holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray.
Cast out our sin and enter in; be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!"
Yours in Christ,
Mark R. Stromberg
Superintendent
