Season’s Greetings!
On behalf of the family here at Bay Life Church, I want to welcome you to our Christmas Eve celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

He came with us in mind to a world that knew Him not, growing in favor with God in man and living a perfect life. He emptied Himself and became nothing so that those who would believe in Him might not perish but have life everlasting. May God grant you His grace, and may we all follow Jesus – He is the reason for this season.

Like the shepherds of long ago, we are grateful to have you join us tonight as we worship the child who has become our King. Merry Christmas!
Pastor Mark
