But the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end. — Luke 1:30-33 (NIV)
As we light the first candle of the season, let’s reflect on the true essence of Advent. Hope is the spark that ignited that holy night in Bethlehem, and it continues to burn brightly in our hearts. We invite you to join us in a prayer for hope as we begin this special journey.

Share a Blessing with a Neighbor Like Robert
When a winter storm hit Appalachia, Robert—a devoted grandfather raising four grandkids—found himself out of food and worried about how to keep everyone fed. Thanks to generous people like you, the Christian Appalachian Project was able to step in with groceries and hope right when they needed it most. Your kindness makes moments like this possible. This Christmas season, you can help another family facing tough times. Will you give today and share the gift of hope?

Hunger Hurts Families in Appalachia — Please Help!
Like us, we know you believe that no one should go hungry. This year, many families in Appalachia are more vulnerable than ever to food insecurity, and some are still feeling the impact of recent events. Our pantries have seen a surge in requests for food. For these families, it’s a struggle just to keep food on the table.
But you can help change that! One gift today can make sure our Grateful Bread and Eagle Food pantries are stocked in time for the holidays. Please bring the comfort of a warm meal and God’s love to a child, family, or senior this Christmas.

The Promise of Christmas
"…an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." — Matthew 1:20-21 (NIV)
Faith is at the heart of the Christmas story, and it’s what makes this season so magical. As we continue the Christmas story, let’s remember the faith of Mary and Joseph and the incredible journey they took. Join us in prayer as we celebrate the gift of faith.
