The Christmas Story: A Labor of Love, Shared With Our Community

On Christmas Day, we pause to celebrate the greatest story ever told - the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

More than two thousand years ago, in the quiet town of Bethlehem, God entered the world not with fanfare or power, but with humility, promise, and love. The Christmas story reminds us that hope often arrives quietly, light shines even in darkness, and God keeps His promises.

This year, Highlands Insider is honored to share The Christmas Story, a special digital publication faithfully retold from Scripture using Luke 1-2 and Matthew 1-2. Created as a gift to our community, this project was designed to encourage reflection, worship, and meaningful moments with family during the Christmas season.

A Labor of Love

Behind the pages of this digital flipbook is a true labor of love.

This project was built through late nights, careful editing, prayerful design, and teamwork. From video production and storytelling to layout, graphics, and ad coordination, every piece was handled with intention and care. It was never about rushing content or filling space - it was about honoring Scripture and telling the story of Jesus faithfully.

This was also a family and community effort. Supporters and advertisers stepped forward not simply to promote a message, but to be part of something meaningful. Their participation helped make it possible to create a publication that reflects faith, gratitude, and service to the people of Putnam County.

An Interactive Experience

This Christmas story is more than words on a page - it is an interactive experience.

Throughout the flipbook, readers will see a Red Play Button icon on select pages. Clicking this icon opens special video greetings that connect directly to the stories and messages being shared.

How to enjoy the full experience:

These videos were created exclusively for this project and add a personal, meaningful layer to the Christmas story being told.

With Gratitude and Joy

Today, we also want to say thank you.
