A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS
Holy Child of Bethlehem,
come to us.
We open wide the doors to our hearts.
Come, let your love shine in us to ease our
fears and calm our worry.
Come, fill us with a joy that knows no
boundaries.
Come, fill us with light that brightens every
corner of darkness.
Holy Child of Bethlehem,
come to us again.
Lift us from the routine into the splendor of
your holy night; carry us away from the extravagant into the simple wonder of
your humble birth.
Holy Child of Bethlehem, come to us; be born in us.
Even now.
Amen.

Stoughton, United Church Christ, where -- together as disciples -- we serve as
the hands and heart of Christ in our world today. I look forward to continuing
our mutual ministry as we strive to make our church a vital and inclusive
witness for God's love throughout the coming year.
