"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"

Our scripture today is from Philippians, chapter 1 verses 2-7 from the Common English Bible.

2 May the grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 3 I thank my God every time I mention you in my prayers. 4 I'm thankful for all of you every time I pray, and it's always a prayer full of joy. 5 I'm glad because of the way you have been my partners in the ministry of the gospel from the time you first believed it until now. 6 I'm sure about this: the one who started a good work in you will stay with you to complete the job by the day of Christ Jesus.7 I have good reason to think this way about all of you because I keep you in my heart. You are all my partners in God's grace, both during my time in prison and in the defense and support of the gospel.
