Friday, Christmas Day Luke 24:44-49
On this the day of Jesus’ birth, we recall that in all times and
in all places, he appointed witnesses to tell of his incarnation,
his death and resurrection. We who welcome the infant Jesus
proclaim the saving work of Christ. As we worship at the
manger, prepare us, Lord God, to leave and tell the good
news of great joy for all people. Amen.
Emmanuel, God with us, we rejoice at your birth, we offer
you our gifts without reservation and we rest for a moment in
thanksgiving and peace. As we prepare to be your witnesses,
we seek to always live in hope and act courageously in faith
knowing that there is nothing not taken up and redeemed
through your incarnation. Glory to God in the highest! Jesus
Christ is born this day! Amen.

Saturday, December 26, Isaiah 44:6-8
In this Christmas season we witness to incarnation, the birth
of Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, God with us. As you reflect on
this year with all its challenges and changes, where have you
experienced the presence and power of God? How will you
tell this good news to the world?
Emmanuel, as we worship and adore you, we praise God for the
gift of your coming into the world. We see in your incarnation
God’s relentless love and refusal to give up on the goodness
of creation. Make us your witnesses, ready to proclaim your
truth, courageous in our discipleship, humble in our following,
reflections of your light in this God’s beloved world. Amen.
