Isaiah 48.17-19 | Psalm 1 | Matthew 11.16-19 |

Haiku—Christmas
by Kudzai Mhangwa

Silent distant town,
Ox and lambs walking by,
Little baby cries.

Prayer

Dancing God,
you exult over us with joy;
as we celebrate what has past
renew us by your love
that we may face the future with hope and joy;
through our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever. Amen.
— Bosco Peters
