Psalm 146 was read, and scripture was from Isaiah 35 and St. Matthew 1. The ques- tion was "Why was Jesus born in a manger?" - was answered. It was God's way to send a Savi- our who would start life in an or- dinary way, grow up, and then die on the Cross for the sins of all people. In the sermon Rev. Fairley spoke of some remembrances of Christmas when there seemed to be little "joy," but God leads us through - so that we continue to praise God as He cares for us.
