Merry Christmas!

“The angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see – I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people:  to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.'” – Luke 2:10-11

This passage from the birth narrative of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ says it all.  May the peace of Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit surround you!

The Chemo bags were delivered yesterday to the Iowa City Cancer Treatment Center by several of the EPIC youth.  They were well received and appreciated.  Thanks to all the youth who took the time to make these, the adults who helped, and all who gave money so the supplies could be purchased.  Thanks to Barb for making bags this year.
