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!

We hope that during this holiday season you’ll take the time to remember the greatest miracle that has ever taken place in creation–God became flesh, the Holy One took on the sins of all the world. And he did it so that you and I can be reconciled to him and dwell forever in his Holy Presence to experience blessing and peace and joy forever.
From all of us in the Patterson house we wish you a wonderful Christmas season and blessed 2020.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our family to yours. May the wonder of the incarnation seize your heart and may you have a happy and healthy 2019!
Every year I think it’s time to do something different for our Christmas greeting but as a family we enjoy going through the photos of the year and watching the end result. So, once again it’s time for our annual video Christmas greeting.
We hope you are enjoying a wonderful Advent season in anticipation of the coming of our Lord and hope you have a blessed 2018. Enjoy this greeting with a short photo overview of our year while Jana (piano) and Elisabeth (violin) play “A Song from Secret Garden.”
We hope you enjoy our Christmas greeting with photo and video flashbacks of our amazing year.
We feel blessed that we got to touch base with more friends and family than in most years, we made many new friends, and we had a ton of adventures.
Thanks for being a part of our lives and our ministry in 2016!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015!
It’s wonderful to be celebrating another Christmas season and it’s especially nice to look back on memories of visiting with family and friends throughout the year. Who knows what challenges we’ll face in the coming year. May God give you strength for those challenges and may you experience his peace and presence throughout the year.
Todd, Jana, Elisabeth and Max.
Merry Christmas from the Pattersons!

I hope you enjoy our 2012 Christmas greeting. Jana and Elisabeth provide the musical background of “Silent Night.” Near the end Max adds a bit of doorbell to our otherwise professional recording.
