God of power and life, You are the glory of all who believe in You. Fill the world with Your splendour and show the nations the light of Your truth; through Jesus Christ Your Son, our Lord, Who is alive and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever.

Most Holy God, as we who gather on this day remember Your great Gift of Love, let us come close with reverence and with joy, knowing that in the light of this New Year, Your great Light, the Word made flesh, will shine upon each darksome day the light of mercy, grace and peace. We draw closer, and in Your presence, bless Your Holy Name.

Snow is inconvenient, very cold and makes travelling hazardous. But the way it grinds things to a halt, quietens the sound of modern life, and brings such beauty and joy to many also reminds us of the glory of the whole of God's creation, and helps us to stop to appreciate it.

We pray for families, in particular families struggling with rising living costs and the extra pressures that this season brings. We pray too for the elderly and those particularly vulnerable to cold and illness at this time. We pray that we will form communities which nurture and support the vulnerable. Amen.

Merry Christmas everyone.
This Christmas, everyone at Oldmachar Church wants you to know just how deeply God loves you, how dearly we care for you, and that Jesus is for all - without exception. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. We pray that the love and peace of Jesus fills your heart, and that together we learn to love and treat one another as we ourselves long to be loved. Here's to a year shaped by empathy, kindness, and peace.

Loving God, as You came to Your servant Joseph when he was asleep, and so, You continue to come to us in surprising ways. Help us to be open to Your presence, and in that presence, to await your promptings and your calling.

Go now in peace. When God comes to you, may you be blessed. In God's calling, may you find purpose. In Christ's Incarnation, may you find comfort. In the Holy Spirit's promptings, may you find challenge.
