To readers of The Grapevine, friends and colleagues:

I sincerely wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas, and all the best for the year ahead!

Christmas is not only a time to celebrate our Christian faith with friends and family, but a time to relax and enjoy all that the season has to offer.

Whatever Christmas means for you, may the season be filled with joy and peace. I wish you an enjoyable and rewarding year ahead!

Regards,
