“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.”
LUKE 2:10-11

As we celebrate the coming year, marking Valpo’s one-hundredth Lutheran anniversary, we reflect on the essential nature of joy – especially in the presence of the One who sustains our lives. Our sincere prayer is that your heart will be lifted in praise this Christmas for the precious gift of Jesus and the abundant joy He brings to all. May we always remember the ways God has been faithful and trust that His faithfulness will continue in the years to come.
