A prayer for reflection
"God of life, thank you for calling us to belong to something so much bigger than ourselves. Thank you for your church in all times and places. We pray that all who come to worship today may sense that the gospel of Christ is so much bigger than this congregation. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

Meditation:
I do love Christmas. But at the same time, I sometimes find myself just wanting to get through Christmas Day intact and out the other side, back to normal life. Maybe you’re the same. You find Christmas as stressful as you find it joyful. There’s the stress of who you’ll be with at Christmas, and who you’ll disappoint. There’s the stress of getting the presents (and batteries). There’s the stress of how much food to buy, and when to put it in the oven, and trying to remember whether or not your auntie is still a vegan. And you find yourself thinking, ‘If I can just get through Christmas, then things will go back to normal.’ but imagine if Christmas could be rescued from the stress or sadness of just getting through Christmas. Imagine if January could be rescued from the disappointment if your joy was in getting to Christmas. Imagine if there was a joy that lasted – that endured through January and that wasn’t dented by reality. That would be worth finding, wouldn’t it?
The people who experienced that first Christmas and understood its meaning found a joy that did not fade. So can you. Whether you’re a get-to-er or get-through-er, if you get the meaning of the first Christmas this Christmas, then you’ll get the feeling of joy, and find it’s a feeling that lasts.
