Christmas Day

Light two purple candles: the candle of Hope, and the candle of Preparation. Light the candle of Joy, the pink candle.

Light the candle of Love, a purple candle.

Light the white candle, the Christ candle.

And an angel said to them “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the      Lord.”         Luke 2:10, 11 (ESV)

A prayer for the dinner table:

Dear Lord, we are so thankful for the many ways you have blessed us with abundance in our lives. Please bless this food and those families around the world who will not have enough to eat today. In gratitude we remember your humble birth in a lowly stable, and pray for those who have no shelter. Lord, help us to be mindful always of your message of love, peace, and sacrifice for others. Even though Advent is over, please keep your loving Spirit alive in our hearts.  In His precious name we pray, Amen.

Take some time to sing some songs together, over the piano or guitar, or during clean up.      Read a story together or to the children.

Thank you for joining us on this year’s Advent journey.

May He bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you…go in Peace.
