Dear Friends,

I am delighted to be able to wish you all, wherever you are in the world, a very happy Christmas!

Isaiah 9:6 says “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

As we celebrate this joyous season of Christmas and the peace, love, and joy the Christ-Child brings to all the world, let us remain confident of the sure hope and bright future that lies ahead.

As we thank God for the blessing of family and friends, and for providing for us from his bounty, let us also pray for all those who are having a very different and difficult Christmas this year. May they feel the unending love of Jesus Christ and be assured of the hope he promises us for the future.

I wish you and your loved ones a very happy and blessed Christmas! May the gift of a New Year bring transformation, and shape us into something magnificent, as together we build hope, tackle injustice, and share the good news of the Christian faith individually and collectively through our Mothers’ Union.

With my love and prayers as always,

Sheran
