Welcome Christ Again

May the Lord bless you with

belonging in your loneliness,

healing in your brokenness,

restoration in your weariness and

joy in the midst of sorrow and struggle.

Have confidence that this is God's will,

God's work in you.

Remember that you have been

created,

chosen,

companioned,

forgiven,

saved,

redeemed,

born again,

and set free,

by the only living God.

Our God is Yahweh - I AM,

Immanuel - God with us,

Comforter of our troubled souls.

Our God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

the only always good King

of the only kingdom

that will never end.

Rejoice with me sisters and brothers!

Rejoice because our Savior is coming,

has come,

and will come again.

Celebrate that Christ is born.

Celebrate the King that captured your heart.

Sing,

feast,

dance,

play,

worship --

do it all fervently

so that the world will know:

Christ has come

Christ has come to give new life

Christ has come to give new life to all

Christ has come to give new life to all who receive him.

Welcome Christ.

Welcome Christ again.

Welcome Christ always!

Christmas Blessings!
