Christmas Day


I hope that in your celebrations with your family, you are able to take time to offer thanksgiving for the Birth of the One "born this day in the City of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

Almighty God, you have given your only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and to be born of a pure virgin: Grant that we, who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit; through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom with you and the same Spirit be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
