Christmas Message
At the very core of the Christmas celebration in the Christian world is the person of Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah. His message of hope, peace, joy, and love are inescapably anchored in His person, and in what He has done.
May you find hope, peace, joy, and love in Him this Christmas time. May you share this hope, peace, joy, and love to your family, friends, and your circle of influence.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the year 2025 find us, PNA Alabama, tirelessly giving back to our profession and our community!
Much love,
