Christmas Greetings from the General Officers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church

"For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
authority rests upon his shoulders,
and he is named
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Isaiah 9:6 (NRSVue)

This season, we celebrate the Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love that Jesus Christ brings to all of us. Wherever you are, please take a moment to remember the true gift of the holiday: Jesus Christ.

The Active and Retired General Officers of the AME Church
