On Monday night, Pearce had its annual Mr. Christmas Tree pageant. One guy from each grade battled it out to hold the coveted crown of Mr. Christmas Tree 2011. In the end, the senior candidate pulled out the victory over the freshmen guy. It was a great night with lots of laughter.

After the laughs, I got the privilege to share the great story of Christmas, how God put on skin to bring us ‘home’ to a relationship with Him. While we celebrate Christmas with gifts each year, the greatest gift that ha ever been given cannot be wrapped in a box, but came from God in the person of Jesus.

Merry Christmas!
