Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dear Family and Friends,

We hope you enjoy this simple online Christmas "card" that highlights a few of our comings and goings during 2007.

Elliot is in his second year at Wheaton College where he is a physics major and is minoring in math and biblical-theological studies. Jeremy is a sophomore at Henderson High School in West Chester where he lives, eats, and breathes lacrosse, and also studies at times. Emily is in seventh grade at Peirce Middle School and is especially elated whenever she can spend time with her horse Snoopy. We are so thankful to the Lord for these three fantastic children he has given us, and for their growing faith in Christ!

The parents of these three wonderful children are very happy-yet-sometimes-swamped with the joys and challenges of ministry in the church. Peter has been Senior Pastor of Goshen Baptist Church in West Chester, Pennsylvania for almost two years now. Cheryl is active with the church's Prayer Team and in providing support for worship and music ministries.

As you walk through the special days of Christmas this year, let the "suddenly" of Luke 2:13 get your attention: the vast choral array of angels who appeared to the shepherds of Bethlehem made their appearance "suddenly." They could not wait to burst onto the earthly scene and sing forth and shine radiantly with praises to the Lord, the Newborn King. May your Christmas season also be a time of deep, joyful, uncontainable praise to Christ the Lord!

God bless you!

Peter & Cheryl Nelson
Elliot, Jeremy, Emily (and our doggie Pepper)
