How many times did the phrase “Do not be afraid” appear in the Old and New Testaments?  Come to worship 10 a.m. this Sunday to get the answer.  “Do not be afraid” are the first words spoken by the angel Gabriel to Mary and to the Shepherds keeping watch over the flocks by night in announcing the birth of Emmanuel.  “Do Not be Afraid” is the message of the angels we will explore this Sunday.
