Tonight’s presentation of the Christmas story is adapted from the nativity account found in the Gospel of Luke with references from the Gospel of John and messianic prophecies found in the Old Testament books of Genesis, Isaiah and Micah. The Manchester Community Church family is grateful for the opportunity to share this evening with you. It is our prayer that the great gift of the Christmas season would be yours in your heart. Merry Christmas!
