We put together a list of prayers to be used for families, mothers, and fathers. God Himself chose these human relationships to describe the depth of His love for His people. Even God’s great plan of salvation is expressed not in individual terms but according to the ancient promise to Abraham: “in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:3, emphasis added). Whether families are big or small, rejoicing or mourning, our Father embraces the cares of His children.

Prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ with these Christmas midnight prayers.

On this National Day of Service and Remembrance, we give thanks for our first responders and volunteer chaplains who serve and support during times of crisis.
