Here’s a call to worship for Christmas Day from Ann Siddall, and
the Stillpoint Spirituality Centre and Faith Community.
Let the celebrations begin
Like eager children
waiting for dawn,
tearing at the
wrapping to get to the gift,
waking sleeping
parents with shouts of joy,
let our celebrations
begin!
May this Christmas
morning
find us able to say
“Alleluia”
even in the midst of
pain and anxiety,
because You are our
hope.
Jesus Christ, come to
us,
fill our hearts with
joy in knowing
this deeper truth
that life contains,
that because You
come, all will be well.
Let us witness not to
successful lives,
not to perfect
health, faultless families,
highly achieving
work, or new possessions,
but to the quiet
inner knowing of You.
And as we gather this
joyful morning,
let our Alleluias
rise from willing lips,
from lives opened to
Your gift,
and from hearts
filled with Your love.
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia,
and
Amen!
