As we celebrate the birth of Christ, we are reminded that Christmas is the beginning of the greatest story ever told – a story of light breaking into darkness, of love that came to dwell among us. 

Our church community tells a story too. Every name, every photo, every phone number is a thread in the beautiful tapestry of our community. These are the people who show up – week after week, year after year – serving, worshiping, praying, and growing together. Behind every name is a life touched by grace, a heart committed to the body of Christ, and hands and feet serving our community.   

This season, we invite you to take a moment to reflect on the stories within our congregation, to see not just the names, but the legacies of faith, love, and fellowship. 

May your Christmas be filled with peace, love, joy, and the unshakable hope that comes from knowing we are all part of God’s story. 

We are humbled and grateful for the ministry of Ocean Springs United Methodist Church and the connection with families and communities.
