For prayer... “Unless the Lord builds the house we labour in vain.” Pray for our Church that God will be honoured as he leads us in the adventure of faith. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around our town. Pray for : Minister Bereaved/ Sick/Lonely Shanzu Tollbrae /Caldervale Catherine Dunbar Parish Church MAF Stewarts Zaskes Zaskes The Zaskes are having a well deserved break back in Europe and Germany at this time. They give thanks for a great time in Corsica, Stuttgart where Martin is from and Amsterdam to visit his sister. We are looking forward to welcoming them to Flowerhill early in the new Year. Meanwhile their work abroad is progressing slowly. The team is sending us word-lists for the dictionary and is working on articles for the next edition of GuGu. In addition to that they are preparing their contributions for this year's meeting of the Anii kings which will take place in B itself this time. Last week they had Japanese visitors at the office. The district office came for a visit with Japanese people who want to build a school in a northern village. Our team enjoyed showing them the office and explaining our language work to them. Ÿ Give thanks for this couple and pray that God will richly bless them on their furlough. Ÿ Pray from the work they have left behind that it would continue to progress. Peace As we think about peace do pray for the areas around our world where there is none. Places like Iraq, Syria and of course Pakistan. Ÿ Pray for governments, world leaders, charities, pressure groups and the like that they will be able to be peace makers. Ÿ Pray for families and people dealing with the aftermath of the events that we have hear of this week.

Sleeps the world; hid from sight, Mary and Joseph in stable bare Watch o’er the Child beloved and fair, Sleeping in heavenly rest, Silent Night Part 3 We have been working our way through the carol that the German soldiers sang on that first Christmas eve of WW1. This of course led to the famous Christmas Day truce which 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of. Today we look at the last verse and see again the brightness of God’s glory seen in the face of Silent night, holy night! Jesus. Shepherds first saw the light, We see the love that comes to us Heard resounding clear and from him and rejoice that he comes to bring grace by being our long, Saviour. Far and near, the angelThe peace on that first Christmas song: day of WW1 may only have lasted ‘Christ the Redeemer is here a day or two at most. But the peace that the angels sang about to the shepherds, the peace that Silent night, holy night! Jesus brings to us lasts forever. Son of God, O how bright Through him we have peace with Love is smiling from Thy God, peace with ourselves and face! peace with each other. Strikes for us now the hour This Christmas lets rush like the of grace, shepherds and go to see what the Saviour, since Thou art born, angels talked about; this Christmas rush again to the baby who was born a Saviour, look full in his radiant face and know the loving grace of his Father.
