Prayer Calendar

Monday, 15 Dec 25

Advent is the season of expectation and preparation for the joy and love Christmas brings. As we look forward to Christmas Day, we dress our houses with lights and decorations…Lights because Jesus brings light to our world of darkness and decorations because we rejoice in the warmth of His love.

This is often an opportunity to meet friends as we exchange Christmas cards and presents. May we be ready to open our hearts to strangers, share the good news of Christmas and include them in our plans this Christmas.

Wednesday, 17 Dec 25

Families often meet and renew bonds which, in our busy lives can become stretched and frayed. Help us to be patient with those we find ‘difficult’. Let’s also find time for those who have no happy family times to remember.

Singing Carols and enjoying Handel’s Messiah and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio is a joy and a privilege. Thank God for the musicians who have given, and give us now, this pleasure. Carols and Christmas music contain the message of Christmas in an approachable way - they are familiar and loved.

We pray that those involved in preparing the Christmas Services may be inspired and let the wonderful message of Christ’s love, coming as a baby at Christmas, seep into them bringing the warmth and comfort of the familiar Christmas message with freshness and conviction.

We have warm homes, enough to eat and drink and the support of our Church family, as well as friends and family. Others, like rough sleepers, are not so blessed. Let’s support the Food Banks and charities, like St. Martin’s and Crisis, working with people who are homeless and lonely - particularly hard at Christmas time when ‘life as usual’ stops and the weather is cold.
