“The outgoing year has been very eventful with lots of happenings here and there, but it has pleased the Lord to make us worthy to witness another Christmas Celebration.
“As we rejoice in the euphoria of this festive period, let us not lose sight of the purpose why Christ was born and what He lived for. Christ came in humility to save, and to help the less-privileged despite stiff opposition and tribulations.
