What will be your Christmas Story for 2020?

Advent/Christmas Prayer Sheet

In Kiwi Christmas Joy Cowley places the Christmas story into our modern context:

Christmas can be our story. You only have to look at the bright blue sky and the waves splashing light to know that Christmas belongs here with long days of summer and pohutukawa in bloom.

The fantail flits across the room. “You’ll give birth to a boy child and you will call him Jesus.”

In the evenings he rubs her back and puts her hand over her belly to feel the son of God kicking. Already they are filled with love for this miraculous baby.

Then simply, like a pea from a pod Jesus comes into the world.

Where is Christ being born anew in your life?  How will Christmas be your story in 2020?

O Come Emmanel!
God with us
Vulnerable
humble
miraculous
we wait
joyfully
in anticipation
Christ is born!
