Preparation for Worship

Time for Gathering

Opening Hymn “Once in Royal David’s City”

Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed

Where a mother laid her Baby in a manger for His bed

Mary was that mother mild Jesus Christ her little Child

He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all

And His shelter was a stable and His cradle was a stall

With the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy

And our eyes at last will see Him through His own redeeming love

For that Child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above

And He leads His children on to the place where He is gone

Prayer of Praise

Song of Worship

Prayers of the Church and Prayer of our Lord

Offering and Doxology

Scripture Lesson Luke 1:26-45

Sermon A Mixed Blessing

The Lord’s Supper

Closing Hymn “Come O Long Expected Jesus”

Come Thou long expected Jesus born to set Thy people free

From our fears and sins release us let us find our rest in Thee

Israel's Strength and Consolation hope of all the earth Thou art

Dear Desire of every nation joy of every longing heart

Born Thy people to deliver born a Child and yet a King

Born to reign in us forever now Thy gracious kingdom bring

By Thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone

By Thine all sufficient merit raise us to Thy glorious throne
