Children’s Christmas Prayers

Dec 24, 2024 | Parish Voices

This week, the children were asked to write prayers ahead of Christmas. Here are few highlights.

Two pieces of paper with the following handwriting: 1: Dear God, I pray for the people who arn't able to enjoy christmas and that your love will stay with them... [cut off], 2: God creator thank you for the environment the growing trees the clear lakes. May we care for it so that future generations can enjoy it. Amen. Lined piece of paper with the following handwriting: Dear God, may we be reminded what the Christmas Season is about. Because Christmas is not about presents or food. It is to remember your Hold Son's birth and a celebration of him, named Jesus. We come together to love each other, to be there with everyone we love and everyone we might not love as much. When Chismas comes, whether we're unraping a gift, or laughing at a joke, or diving into a big feast, let us think of our saviour, and his life he led for us. Amen A yellow piece of paper with the following handwriting: Dear God, We pray for the farmers who work to grow the food that we eat for Christmas dinner. We are so lucky that we can have nice food. We pray for people less fortunate than us and hope they have enough food to eat. Amen A piece of white paper with the following handwriting: PREAR: thank you god for the family and friends we spend Christmas with, and thank you for helping us get along. Pleas can you stop the fighting in the contry and in the whole world if you can. AMEN.
