God has done great things for us!

God’s love is heralded in the promise of Christ.

 

Holy is God’s name!

God’s promises are fulfilled in the coming of Christ.

 

God’s mercy extends from generation to generation.

God’s salvation is offered in the gift of Christ.

Hymn                                   “Angels We Have Heard on High”                         UMH 238 

1.    Angels we have heard on high sweetly singing o'er the plains,
and the mountains in reply echoing their joyous strains.
Refrain: Gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo!


2. Shepherds, shy this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be which inspire your heavenly song?
(Refrain)

3. Come to Bethlehem and see Christ whose birth the angels sing,
come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
(Refrain)

4. See him in a manger laid, whom the choirs of angels praise,
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, while our hearts in love we raise.

Prayer Practices/Prayers of the People                                                       Adam White

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.  Amen
