But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." - Luke 2:10-12

May His love and presence fill you with hope and joy this Christmas season.

From all of us at Vida, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

Pastor Aaron Soto, Senior pastor of Apostolic Truth Church Appleton WI , shares a heartfelt message about the impact of prayer and reminds us that prayer may seem like the least we can do, but it is truly the greatest gift we can offer.

We’re excited to announce our Prayer Warrior Campaign, launching in 2026! Our hope is to cover Vida’s ministry in prayer every day, and ultimately, every hour. Prayer is a powerful force for hope, protection, and transformation. Sign-up here: https://schedule.planhero.com/groups/ef1800504/vida-prayer

What a joyful time Vida Parent Support Services had celebrating the Christmas season with our Baby & Me families! Special thanks to John Smith for sharing beautiful Christmas music and for teaching the parents about their baby’s amazing sense of hearing.

The little ones loved the holiday tunes, and everyone enjoyed decorating Christmas cookies together. It was sweet time!

Take a look at some festive photos from the group. ❤️🎄

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." - Psalm 100:4-5

We celebrate the goodness of the Lord, whose love never ends and whose faithfulness spans every generation. May our hearts overflow with praise and gratitude today and always.
