Lord our God, we praise you for your Son, Jesus Christ.
He is Emmanuel, the hope of all peoples;
he is the wisdom that teaches and guides us;
he is the Saviour of every nation.

O God, let your blessing come upon our community gathered here before you.

May the light that shines forth from them
illumine our way as we journey towards Christmas;
may the light that shines forth from them
may the light that shines forth from them
illumine our lives as we wait in hope for the birth of the Christ-child.
We ask this through Christ who is the Light of the World.
Amen.
Amen.
