This week we learned that the angel told Mary and Joseph that the baby should be named
JESUS, which means "GOD SAVES".
The prophets foretold that Jesus name would be
EMMANUEL, which means, "GOD IS WITH US"
Make time this weekend to worship and prepare your heart for the Baby who came to earth to be WITH US and to SAVE US!
