It is with deep sorrow that we note the passing of longtime member Gladys Peters. Gladys was a constant presence at Emmanuel and we will miss her. Our sincere sympathy is given to her family who are following their matriarch’s footsteps as committed members of Emmanuel. God bless you all.
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
