In the southern hemisphere Christmas co-insides with our Summer holidays (the above image is a very Kiwi Christmas one... Our native Christmas tree the pohutukawa in flower at a sun drenched beach) and end of school year... So when we have a kids Christmas pageant it's usually also the end of the Sunday School or Kid's ministry for the year. So I wanted to finish the service on Sunday with a blessing that captured that... He it is... It went down quite well... My wife (and most honest critic) Kris said that it was good... when we said it together in church she didn't notice the 'real cheesy' rhyming.
Christ be with you
As the end of the year draws near
When the holidays are here
Christ be with you
In the midst of Christmas celebrations
Rejoicing with friends and relations
Christ be with you
If you’re staying put this year
Or you’re off somewhere
Christ be with
Christ bless and keep you
Christ lead and guide
you
