In many churches, those who have faith and are baptized become members of that church.

This year, Christmas is next Monday, so this is essentially the last week of waiting for Christmas. Although the end of the year is approaching and the atmosphere is hectic, today I would like to introduce a text that will help you spend this week thinking deeply about the meaning of Christmas.
