Christmas at Goshen 2023

Christmas at Goshen 2023

Join us as we gather in the season of Advent--as we commemorate and celebrate the coming of God the Son to be among us, to be Emmanuel, "God with us"! (Matthew 1:23).  May the Lord pour out his love upon you this Christmas season!

By the way, if all of the holiday festivity rings hollow for you, and you're wondering if there really is a deeper meaning and a basis for hope behind it all, take time and listen to (and pray over) this summary of Jesus' message!
