Leading with Faith -Merry Christmas

A Savior is born!

The Glory of the Lord, the Word Made Flesh, comes to the nations in the form of an infant, so that mankind may approach His Divinity under the irresistible veil of His Humanity.

How great Thou art!

O, come let us adore!

Merry Christmas!

Whether your family prepares a feast on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or just enjoys a simple meal filled with fellowship, saying a prayer at dinner centers the gathering on the meaning of the occasion: the birth of Jesus.

Here are options for Christmas dinner prayers:

• “Dear God, we thank you for everyone gathered here this evening, for the food we will enjoy, and for the love we all share. We give thanks this day for the birth of our Savior. In His name we pray. Amen.”
• “Heavenly Father, bless this food and bless this meal. Since Jesus came into our world and delivered us salvation, we rejoice in the promise of salvation and pray that our fellowship today brings us deeper into communion with You. We ask this as we ask all things, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
• “God, recently, our days have been joy-filled yet busy. Occasionally, we get distracted from the true meaning of Christmas. As we gather here tonight, in this quiet moment, we feel your loving embrace. We are filled with gratitude for this meal, this fellowship, and all the blessings you give us. Amen.”
