Christmas message We celebrate this Chrismas time
In words, in song, in prayer, in rhyme.
And Winter's snows may dress the scene
On an Christmas so blessedly serene.
Gifts express our token love,
For kith and kin from God above.
And within us burns a spirit bright,
On this very merry Christmas night.
There's pleasure in sharing, joy in giving,
Humility in being forgiving.
And should we wish such peace for all,
We may revel in Christmas, for we truly stand tall. By Ray Crutchlow
