Preparation for Worship

Time for Gathering

Opening Hymn “Angels from the Realms of Glory”

Angels from the realms of glory wing your flight o'er all the earth
Ye who sang creation's story now proclaim Messiah's birth
Come and worship come and worship, worship Christ the newborn King
Shepherds in the field abiding watching o'er your flocks by night
God with us is now residing Yonder shines the infant light
Come and worship come and worship, worship Christ the newborn King
All creation join in praising God the Father Spirit Son
Evermore your voices raising to the eternal Three in One
Come and worship come and worship, worship Christ the newborn King

Song of Worship
Prayers of the Church and the Prayer of our Lord
Offering “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks”

While shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down and glory shone around
The angel told the wondrous news Emmanuel has come
Now go to Bethlehem and see this miracle of love
This miracle of love
From cattle stall to Calv’ry’s cross He proved His love for us
And now we come with grateful praise for ev’rything He’s done
For ev’rything He’s done

Scripture Lesson Luke 2:8-9 Page 781
Sermon Losers Win
Closing Hymn “O Little Town of Bethlehem”

O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King and peace to men on earth
How silently how silently the wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive Him still the dear Christ enters in
O holy Child of Bethlehem descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell
O come to us abide with us our Lord Emmanuel
