Prayer:
Loving God, we praise you for fulfilling your age-long purpose through the birth of Jesus. We thank you that your promises are not simply empty words like so many of ours, but pledges we can rely on, knowing they will always be honoured. Teach us, then, to read the Scriptures, hearing your word revealed in Christ and trusting in the promise of new life you have given us through them. Amen

Poem: The Candy Cane by Marian Jones
A
significant symbol of Christmas
Is the simple candy cane.
It's
shape is the crook of the shepherd
One of the first who
came.
/
The
lively peppermint flavour
is
The regal gift of spice.
The white is Jesus' purity.
The
red is sacrifice.
/
The
narrow stripes are friendship.
And the nearness of his
love.
Eternal, sweet compassion
A gift from God
above.
/
The
candy cane reminds us all
of how much God cared.
And like
His Christmas gift to use
It's meant to be broken and shared
Song: In the bleak mid winter
