Welcome to the cafe! Come on in and take a seat!

I’m so glad that you’ve chosen to spend a small part of your Christmas here at The Faith Cafe.

You’ll notice that the cafe is all decked out for the holidays, with a wreath on the front door, garlands above the fireplace, lights galore, and a huge Christmas tree in the corner. (Remember, this is a virtual cafe, so you’ll have to use your imagination!)

We’ve got Christmas carols playing, and all your favourite treats behind the counter: mulled cider, hot chocolate, specialty coffees, and plenty of baked treats.

The only thing missing?

Being able to see you in person and shake your hand!

So short of doing that, I’d like to thank each of you who has dropped by this site in the past year and has been kind enough to read (and like) my posts.

I’ve been thrilled that The Faith Cafe has logged visitors from almost every continent (I’m still waiting for someone at a research station in Antarctica to drop by!).

“And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night. Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord! And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:

“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men
on whom His favor rests!” (Luke 2:8-14)

I’d like to wish each and every one of you all the joys and blessings of the Christmas season. May the light of Jesus shine brightly in your lives today and every day.

The cafe will be closed for a while over the holidays, but I’ll look forward to connecting again with you in the New Year! God bless you all!
