Dear Friends,

As we celebrate the coming of the prince of peace, I wish you peace and love to be felt around you, Sharing merriment and joy which are the gifts I wish for every man on this planet.

As we celebrate this Christmas, we need to be open to listening to the hopes, doubts and concerns of the wider community.

Despite the fact that the birth of Jesus is widely known, many are not sure how that event can touch their lives today.

As you share thie year's Christmas celebration with your family, friends and your community, take the time to share how Jesus' life, death and resurrection has given you hope, or help, or purpose.

Take confidence in your own story and allow that to be used by God to bless another's life. As Christ is seen in your life and mine this Christmas, let us pray that many will experience the reality that God is with them in their situations.

I pray that you and your family experience Peace, health and happiness everyday on this wonderful Christmas Day as we all gather with our families to celebrate Jesus' birthday.

May God bless us with in all circles of life, and help all amongst us, who are helpless and worried.

Together we can stand up to these challenges and move forward to a better future.

May God's love and grace be with you.

Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous New Year.
