PEOPLE TO PEOPLE
People to People is a cooperative ministry that provides clothing, bedding and small kitchen items to families in our community.
The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. — Isaiah 7:14
God is interested in us personally. So much so, that he personally gives us this sign. Because of Matthew’s explanation of the meaning of the name Immanuel, we know what that sign was — Jesus coming to live as God with us. His presence is God’s presence. His life is God’s sign. The miracle of his conception is God’s mystery and also his statement of grace for us.
