We’re deep into the fall season already. Even as we see the leaves fall to the ground and the weather begin to cool, I’m reminded of one thing that never changes: the hope we have in Jesus.

As Christmas draws near, it’s my prayer that you and your family are also able to look forward in hopeful anticipation of ever-better days ahead – that this Christmas season promises new freedom to go where you will and gather with those you love. And I pray that you’ll find great joy in your celebration of the birth of our Lord.

To help celebrate the Christmas season and to share God’s love with those around you, I want to tell you about our 2022 Christmas catalogue. While I would love to put a spotlight on every item in this catalogue, I want to highlight a select few for you.
