Helping Hand Society Celebrating Christmas
Helping Hand Society celebrated Christmas with the elders and staff at Moadieh Evangelical Center in December 18, 2015. Christmas carols and music filled the heart of the people; cheerful faces and joyful hearts brought happiness to everybody. Families of the elders also joint the celebration. Rev. Habib Badr talked about Christmas traditions, and Mrs Najah Majdalani told them a Christmas story about joy that come from giving. The way of salvation will not be found through luxury, vanity or power, but rather through the loving embrace and forgiveness of God.
Rejoice and be glad for what the Lord as given us, praise the love that Christ revealed. The Lord has come, and He is with us.
