I hope your preparations for Christmas are going well. Take a moment and join me in prayer to celebrate the third Sunday of Advent 🙏

Almighty God,
you have made us and all things to serve you:
come quickly to save us,
so that wars and violence shall end
and your children may live in peace,
honouring one another with justice and love;
through Jesus Christ, your Son our Lord,
who lives with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
