Christmas, 2009
Dear Friends of Jesus,
Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means "God is with us."
-Matthew 1:23
God is with us even in difficult times when we may be tempted to think that the Lord has forgotten us. Remember, He often comes to us unrecognizable.
In Bethlehem, many years ago, few knew Who that newborn baby was. To recognize and embrace Jesus’ abiding presence is a vital human need that SCRC ministers to on a constant basis.
To fix our eyes on Jesus is not always easy. Sometimes when the road has been rough, in weariness I've questioned the value of my labors for God. Then, through God's wondrous mercies, people whom I had never met personally would unexpectedly approach me in diverse public places and tell me how the SCRC ministry helped changed their lives! Also, a good number of priests and deacons have shared with me the key role SCRC has played in their vocational calling. For over 35 years SCRC has been used by God to bring for the vital spiritual impact.
Perhaps you or someone you know has experienced a major spiritual breakthrough or healing at an SCRC event or outreach. During these hard economic times, SCRC is facing financial challenges as are many churches and ministries. Please open your heart during this holy season and assist the SCRC ministry in reaching out to people of all ages with the transforming power of Jesus Christ the Lord.
Wishing a Blessed Christmas,
Dominic Berardino
President, SCRC
