Missouri Lifeline - Merry Christmas!

Christmas is a time of hope. It's a time of peace and love and sharing. God came into this world as a small and defenseless baby. God prepared and ordained a loving woman to give him birth and with her, a loving man to care for and raise him.

Let us pray during this season of hope for our communities, our country and our world that is so in need of the presence of Jesus. Let us pray that our innocent children will be cared for and protected by loving adults around them.

May your days be filled with peace, hope, and joy this Christmas season.

As always, thank you for your loyalty, and support.

Sincerely,

All of us at Missouri Right to Life
