MORNING PRAYER

Today we continue our journey into Advent, as we explore the theme, “The Christ Child: The Light of Hope”. We remember the hope that faith can bring us in difficult times, so today we give thanks to Christ for his gift to us. 

Loving God,

Thank you for the gift of hope that you brought the world. 

It is hope that helps us in the good times and the times we struggle. 

Help us to remember the less fortunate in our community,

as we prepare for the Christmas season.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen
