He came for the moral and the immoral. He came for you and me. This Christmas season we will celebrate with a series titled, For All People. We'll se how the reality that Jesus came for all people affects how we see and interact with people. Don't miss this encouraging and uplifting Christmas series. It will culminate in a special Candlelight gathering on Christmas Eve.
