Fourth Sunday of Advent

Gracious and Generous God: We offer our gifts to you, knowing that the energy exerted in our giving is tiny compared to what we’ve expended finding the gifts for our families and friends. You have given us a glimpse of the gift you truly seek in the angel’s conversation with Mary: when told that she would give birth to our savior, she simply said, “Yes, let it be according to your word.” May that affirmation of faith and obedience be the gift we offer this day. In Christ, we pray. Amen. (Luke 1:26-38)

Christmas Eve

Giving God, as we recount the story of your gift of a Savior on that night long ago, we remember there were some who said, “There’s no room”, and others who responded, “Come, we’ll make room.” As we bring our gifts to your altar, which group will be the best fit for each of us? Help us give with a heart of abundance and not one of scarcity! On this holiest of nights, let us dwell with those whose chorus is, “Come, we’ll make room…,” remembering your abundant love for us. In the name of our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen. (Luke 2:1-14, (15-20))
