For the Church,
as communities light Christmas trees may we proclaim the tree of glory
by which Christ the Savior gave everlasting light to the world, we pray…
- For our world,
  May the lights of Jewish Hanukkah challenge countries to stop putting violence ahead of tolerance in dealing with people’s diversity, we pray…
- For all who are ill, for all medical researchers, and for all caregivers,
  may God’s people bring comfort to them, we pray…
- For all who are in need of food, shelter, and safety, especially our friends at Neighborhood House,
  may this season of hope call us to reach out in love to others, we pray…
- For safety and joy in this Christmas season, we pray…
- For all students in the Colleges of Charleston,
  as we study for exams and wait for final grades,
  may God grant clarity of mind to our studies and peace to our spirit we pray…
- For all who have died, especially in this past semester,
  May God’s gift of eternal life be opened to them, we pray…
- For all who are leaving our community,
  may the light of Christ lead them more and more
  with each passing day, we pray…
