A Message from Chaplain Mark Javery

During this season of joyous celebrations remember and reach out to those in our NCYC family who are grieving the loss of loved ones, those who are battling chronic illness, and others recovering from various needed procedures. At the time of these notes being written I am only aware of one member in-patient as Bob Fringer continues his rehabilitation to get home. Recently home and recovering are P/C Harley Burris, Steve Scarpaci and Jim Wunderlich. Anticipating needed procedures are Director Shelley Sweier and Kathy Fowler. We do have the best membership that I know will keep these and others unmentioned in your prayers. Christmas is a season most of us look forward to. The excitement of giving and receiving gifts, gathering and re-connecting with family and friends, Christmas music everywhere, and plenty of good food to enjoy. Although, I often feel Christmas can be overwhelming from a worldly perspective of expectations. Its celebrations can require lots of cost, planning, energy, and often the help of others to make what we feel is expected work. It wasn’t always this way. The bible tells a different story about the very first Christmas. While many people were anticipating the birth of our savior, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings to be something grand and special. What happened was a baby born in a stable in the out of way
