Prelude “Once in Royal David’s City” Todd Baldosser
Opening Hymn “We Three Kings”
We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light.
Glorious now behold him arise; Christ and God and sacrifice;
alleluia, alleluia, sounds through the earth and skies.
O star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light.
Call to Worship
Leader: Arise; shine, for your light has come!
People: We are called out of our darkness into light.
Leader: Lift up your eyes and look around.
People: We rejoice in the gift of light.
Leader: Come let us worship the God of light and joy and peace.
People: We come to kneel before the Christ Child, the light incarnate.
Prayer of Invocation
All: O Lord of all things bright and beautiful, may we begin this day in
your name. Light of all light, our dayspring of hope, may we find
warm reflections of your countenance in the face of each brother,
sister, stranger and friend. As we work for your world this day,
may our hunger be for justice and our thirst for peace. Feed us
with your presence. Strengthen our hearts and steady our hands
for the business of loving your creation. As children of the light,
may we walk in your radiance this day . . .
-
The Lord’s Prayer…Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our debts, As we
forgive our debtors; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver
us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the
glory forever. Amen.

to the whole company of heaven, that we have sinned, through our
own fault, in thought, and word, and deed, and in what we have
left undone. For the sake of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, have
mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and by the power of your Holy

Closing Hymn “Go, Tell It on the Mountain”
Refrain Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere,
go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching O’er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light.
Refrain Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere,
go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn.
Refrain Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere,
go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.
Please join us in the singing of the Congregational Benediction
Go Now In Peace/Never be afraid/God will go with you/Each hour of ev’ry
Day/Go now in Faith/Steadfast, strong and true/Know He will guide you in
all you do. Go now in Love/And show you believe/Reach out to others/So all
the world can see/God will be there/Watching from above/Go now in
Peace/In Faith and in Love. Amen/Amen/Amen.
