Lighting the Christ Candle – read by Ted Brown

Carol – The Candle of Hope (to “O Worship The King”)
The candle of hope we light in this hour
Proclaims that the Lord is coming in power.
We wait for a future, now hidden from view,
When Christ in his glory will make all things new.

The candle of peace shines bright with God’s plan;
The wolf will lie down and dwell with the lamb.
Our guns and our weapons, our hatred and war,
Will give way to gardens that heal and restore.

The candle of joy reminds us to sing,
For God is at work to do a new thing.
The proud will be humbled; the lowly will rise.
God’s kingdom is one of delight and surprise.

The candle of love tells what we are worth:
God loves us so much, God came to the earth!
An angel brought news of a child who would be
The one who would save us and set us all free.

The Christ candle’s light that shines for us here
Tells out the good news that God has come near!
God came, a poor baby, in one time and place,
To show all creation the wealth of God’s grace.

We Hear the Word Speak

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Merry Christmas!  Come let us journey to the manger once again as we take a trip with the Magi and consider what was in their gifts to Jesus!  Jesus was the light in the darkness, the King of kings and Lord of lords, and we are blessed as we worship tonight!

Office Closed:  Rev. Steve and Mary will be out of the office on Wednesday, Dec. 25 and Thursday, Dec. 26.  The office at Knox will also be closed next Wednesday, January 1st.  

Next Sunday – On December 29th, our service will be themed “Messiah On the Run, as we consider the flight to Egypt soon after Jesus’ birth.  Let’s gather to turn the page on 2019 and move into 2020 with hope, peace, joy and love from God, our Father!
