Prayer Of The Day:

Dear Lord,

May your birth this Christmas inspire others to be selfless and more giving to the less fortunate in our communities. I pray for those families who were affected by Mother Nature this year, that they have a wonderful Christmas with the help of their friends and peers. I pray for the families who have lost a relative this year that God may bless them abundantly with love this Christmas.

I Ask All This Through Christ My Lord,
Amen.
