A Christmas Message from Moderator

Carmen Lansdowne

In her Christmas message, Moderator Carmen Lansdowne reminds us that when so much seems uncertain and the news amplifies all the hard stories, there is One who came to show us that all the ends of the earth should see the salvation of God―and that through that One, we can come together to achieve the impossible.
