Christmas is a time to remember that we are all children of Heavenly Father. He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to help all people return to Him.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we should be the friendliest of all people. We should serve those around us and those not of our faith. We should also notice the good done by others. Jesus Christ’s light guides all of us to help those in need.

Friendly Service

When you are a friend to others, you help light the world!
