‘Shepherds were the first to hear of the birth of Jesus Christ. An angel appeared, announcing, ‘For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:11). Wise men saw a star in the east and came to worship Jesus after His birth.’ Courtesy image

Dear friends and neighbors of Los Alamos, please come gather and unite with us as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 9-10 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1967 18th St.

More than just a tradition or holiday, Christmas is an outpouring of joy that comes from celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Christ’s birth is evidence that our Heavenly Father loves His children so much that He sent His Son to show us the way to true happiness.

Let us celebrate the greatest gift each of us will ever receive.
