Can you hear the angels sing?
We believe that the angels who sang in Bethlehem many hundreds of years ago are still singing. We can hear them in a special way during the Christmas season. Their songs are echoed through Christmas hymns and carols on your car radio, or in a mall. Have you heard them? Would you like to help more people hear them?
