Christmas Prayer                            

     Loving God,

     We thank you for the blessings of the season:

      For the chance to come together as a church family and celebrate this night;

For the Christmas story, and its message of your amazing love;

For carols to sing and the voices with which to sing them;

For the festive fun that fills our hearts with joy;

For the opportunity to share what we have with those who have less;

For generosity of spirit seen in the giving and receiving of gifts;

And most of all, for the greatest gift the world has ever known —

      the gift of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, AMEN.
