A greeting

When the angel told the shepherds, "You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in
a manger," the message must have seemed familiar to the shepherds in some ways, yet
startling as well.
The shepherds – and even their sheep too – knew what a manger meant. It was a place of
provision. Likely their sheep always ran to check out a manger. An empty manger meant
disappointment; a full manger meant the gift of food, of comfort, of well-being – even the
gift of life itself.
Now, to the shepherd's astonishment, here was God filling a manger with a baby, the
promised Saviour, and making the unmistakable offer of a gift – a gift so important that all of
heaven was celebrating, as the shepherds themselves had witnessed.
Like those shepherds of long ago, we know the importance of God's gift of salvation. This
Christmas season, may I encourage you to choose gifts that help your friends and loved ones
find their way to faith in Jesus, or help them grow in their faith?
Here in this catalogue, and also in our online store, you'll find many wonderful gift ideas.
For personal help with your gift selection, please call our toll-free number at 1.800.661.9800.
Our service team will be happy to assist you!
Wishing you a truly wonderful Christmas,
