What a year! At this time last year we had no idea what 2020 had in store and I think most of us feel like 2021 can’t possibly be worse (and, at the same time, that it very well might be!).
Despite all the trials of 2020, the social distancing for the holidays, and the uncertainties ahead, we wish you a peace that passes understanding during this holiday season and all of 2021.
Immanuel!
God is with us!
Hopefully this video Christmas greeting will bring you some cheer. We made some good family memories this year in the midst of lockdown and other trials.
God bless you and your family in 2021!
Psalm 40:1–5
I waited patiently for the LORD;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the LORD.
Blessed is the one who makes
the LORD his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after a lie!
You have multiplied, O LORD my God,
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
yet they are more than can be told.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all — Todd, Jana, Libby, and Max! Great to see all of you; mighty changes in the family, but I do recognize Todd and Jana. Be superspreaders, all of you, and make the Message Go viral. Love to all, Barbara and Dave
Todd says

So good to see the whole Patterson family in your various beautiful spaces. You weave a lovely narrative. Keep telling your story as part of the greatest story on earth: Emmanuel. Love from Macomb, Illinois. –Morris
Todd says
Hello Morris, it’s great to hear from you. You might like to know that my daughter is in her last year at a bilingual high school that teaches classes in German. So her German is officially much better than mine!
Merry Christmas!
