As we step into this New Year
restore our spirits.
Renew our passion for learning
and nurture our compassion
for those in need.

May the humility of the shepherds,
the perseverance of the wise men,
the joy of the angels,
and the peace of the Christ-child
be God’s gifts to us and to people everywhere this Christmas time.
And may the blessing of the Christ-child be upon us always.

Come, Lord Jesus!
Come and visit your people.
We await your coming.
Come, O Lord

My big fella boss up in the sky is like the father Emu.
He will always look after me and take me to green grass,
and lead me to where the water holes are
full and fresh all the time.
