20 Dec Christingle Service 2024
This morning, we had our annual and very special Christingle Service in school. It’s always such a special time, with members of staff, governors and members of clergy from St Mary’s and Brookside Methodist church in attendance.
We shared the following prayers in our service:
Jesus, whose mother was Mary:
we pray for our homes and families. Thank you for all those who love us and care for us day by day. Help us in turn to love and care for all those around us.Lord Jesus, light of the world, hear our prayer.
Jesus, cradled in a manger:
We pray for those who are homeless, and those who have lost their homes through war and conflict.Lord Jesus, light of the world, hear our prayer.
Jesus, sharing the stable with the animals:
We pray for your creation. Thank you for the world you have made. Help us to be good stewards and care for our beautiful world.Lord Jesus, light of the world, hear our prayer.
Jesus, worshipped by shepherds and kings:
We pray for people around the world, and those away from their loved ones at this Christmas time. We pray for members of the armed forces, and for those serving you in distant lands. Be near to them and help them to remember your birthday, which reminds us that your birth brings love, joy, hope and peace. Lord Jesus, light of the world, hear our prayer.Jesus, our Emmanuel:
We pray for all those who are sad, or ill or in trouble. Bring to them your comfort and your hope. Thank you that you are ‘God with us’. Bless all those who are suffering and help them to know that you are Emmanuel, God with us’.
Lord Jesus, light of the world, hear our prayer.
