PLEASE PRAY for those people around the world for who the start of 2020 is a painful one: through loss of loved ones, fear for safety or devastation as a result of extreme weather conditions. Help us to be thankful for all we have and generous to those in need.
READ THE GOOD NEWS – Matthew 2: 1-12 – Just as Herod could not derail God’s plan for His Son, Jesus, help us to trust that the Father has given us, his children, all we need to resist those that might tempt us to stray from his path.

Help us to work together so that our shared passion for Christ and care for others is what we communicate to each other and our community. Help us to take forward the message of Christmas into 2020 – to take
action to pursue peace and love for all, however hard that sometimes seems.
READ THE GOOD NEWS – Matthew 2: 13 to end – God saves. Help us to trust Him even when evidence of hatred, genocide and persecution in the world might cause us to doubt our faith.
