Reflecting on the end of the turbulent year 2025 and the arrival of the new year 2026, the pastor emphasized that the joy of Christmas is not reserved for just one day. \u201cI wish everyone the very best in 2026, but the message of Christmas is that we can rejoice in that hope all 365 days of the year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor for us to mark this holiday through these beautiful pieces, such as \u2018Angels Sang,\u2019 \u2018Silent Night,\u2019 and \u2018Born Is the Promised Son.\u2019 My wish is that we remember how, even though we sometimes wander through the world without direction, God\u2019s love can make everything bloom and ignite new lights in our lives,\u201d said Marinkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Emanuela also sent a powerful message about the importance of human connections: \u201cCall someone you haven\u2019t heard from in a long time, knock on their door, be there for each other. We are made for togetherness, and togetherness is the best foundation for true joy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
