Prayers and Wishes for Advent and Christmas in
Bethlehem 2009
For the 10th
consecutive year, Christmas celebrations will
take place in a difficult climate for people in
the Holy Land. As we prepare to celebrate Advent
and Christmas in the security of our homes and
communities, let us not forget to pray for
justice, peace and security for Palestine and
Israel.
Sending a wish or
a prayer by email is an important way of
communicating with many people who long to hear
a word of hope. Our partners in Bethlehem
greatly appreciate receiving wishes and prayers
from people outside the region, both as personal
and spiritual gestures of comfort and hope on
the occasion of Christmas. These messages are
one way of breaking through the isolation our
Bethlehem partners experience.
Please e-mail your
Christmas messages and prayers for peace before
the 25th of December 2009 (Western
Christmas) and/or the 7 th of January
2010 (Eastern Christmas). While English is the
preferred language, non-native English speakers
may also send wishes and prayers in their mother
tongue. Messages can be e-mailed to the Arab
Educational Institute at the following address:
aei@p-ol.com.
