Welcome to the 59th annual presentation of the Living Christmas Tree. We are so glad you have come to celebrate this Christmas season with us and we hope you will enjoy our program.

During this season of giving, family gatherings and celebrations, we want to remind you of the true meaning and importance of Christmas. God loves you so much that He sent Jesus to be born as a baby and die on the cross in your place. He is the greatest gift ever given to humanity. “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 Through Him we can have eternal life in heaven with God. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. We invite you to ask Jesus to enter your heart as your Savior today.
