Experience the miracle of Christmas!
"Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will to men, I bring you good news of great joy to everyone." These are the words the angels said over the hills outside of the town of Bethlehem when they announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. That first Christmas is the reason we live with purpose... The precious baby in the manger was proof that God loved us.
Experiencing a meaningful Christmas is not decorating your home, buying more gifts or taking your children or grandchildren to visit Santa. It is putting Christ first, focusing on what matters most, and then sharing that love with others.
This Christmas celebration can be a time to be still and reflect on the love that God has for us, and then find a way to share that love with others.

The Story of Esther
Generations of Christian women have drawn faith, strength, and encouragement from the example of Queen Esther. She is one of the most amazing women—and stories—in the Bible.
Esther lived 2,500 years ago as the Jewish queen of King Xerxes of Persia. She appealed to her king—at the risk of her own life—for the lives of fellow Jews in exile who were facing extermination by their mortal enemy, Haman (Esther 7:3).
Unless Esther acted, tens of thousands of Jews would have been murdered . . . a true “holocaust” twenty-five centuries before the Nazis attempt at Jewish genocide!
Now today, Christian Women for Israel has stepped forward as a community of tens of thousands of modern-day “Esthers” praying and standing for Israel. This vibrant group of women is seeking God’s blessing on the nation and His protection against enemies seeking to destroy her.
