Hello Everyone!
One of the real joys of this Christmas season is the opportunity to say ‘Many
thanks to the President Austin Pinto and your committee. They all put forth time
and effort to make every event enjoyable. I am sure we, the members appreciate
this.
Christmas Day will soon be here, it is that time of the year again when family and
friends come together and reflect on Our Lord’s teaching to spread the love, that
He brought for all of us.
Heavenly Father, love brought Jesus to earth and this love brings all of us
together for our special Christmas gathering. We pray that the lights, the
trimmings and the magic of Christmas spread on each of us present here as well
as those who could not be here with us, due to illness or for some personal
reason.
We know, in this world, there are many that go hungry, or are sad or are lonely.
May they find comfort during this Christmas celebration. Let's take a moment to
consider the less fortunate- the growing number who live in poverty in some parts
of the world. We pray also for our members who are ill or are experiencing poor
health.
We also include our deceased members in our prayers. May they rest in peace.
During this joyous season, we ask you Lord, to bless us with faith, peace and
kindness. Lord, we realize that the journey of life has many twists and turns. But,
with Faith, Peace and Kindness in our hearts, we can move forward and change
such situations. We praise you for the great wonders of the shining star and the
angels’s song for the Infant Jesus. To all our members, may the harmony of
Christmas stay in our hearts all year round and may the gift of love, the gift of
peace and the gift of happiness remain with us always as we continue to share
our friendship and love with joyful hearts.
This evening, we all can gladly stretch out their hand and greet one another as we
a wait for the Christmas dinner. The special dinner is filled with kindness,
cheerfulness and plenty of good wishes.
Hopefully then, our Christmas this year and every year ahead will sparkle with
happiness and new surprises that TEGSA will offer for us. As we move forward,
may the harmony of Christmas stay in our hearts all year round. we pray that the
special memories of today will warm our hearts for years to come.
Please join me now in saying “Bless us O Lord and these thy gifts which we are
about to receive through Christ our Lord Amen.”
Bon-Ap-petit ! Enjoy your meal.
