Christmas is the day that we are reminded that
God is with us. It’s the day we remember that God
is in the birth of a baby not born in the halls of
power or into a life of luxury, but in an old barn to
an unwed teen. The good news of Christmas is that
God dwelt among us in the most unexpected way -

This Christmas season we will be collecting
our special Christmas Eve offering for the
Severe Weather Shelter Network that provides
emergency shelter for those enduring life on
the streets in south Jefferson County and the
surrounding area. Due to Covid, they are
partnering with local hotels to offer overnight
shelter through hotel vouchers. Would you
consider participating to help?

Joy to the world the Lord is come Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room And Heaven and nature sing And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and Heaven and nature sing Joy to the earth the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods rocks hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy Repeat repeat the sounding joy No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found Far as far as the curse is found
He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders of His love
And wonders wonders of His love V E R S E 1

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER
Eternal God, the hope of all humankind, You gave us the greatest gift of all in Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Son of God, you came as God’s Light to Shine brightly in the darkness of minds And hearts; bathe our world in your Light. Jesus Christ, Word made flesh, make a way for the Good News of your Kingdom to reach every home, Every heart, everywhere.
Be the comforter, defender and provider of the poor, The helpless, the cold, the hungry, the orphaned,
The weary the oppressed, those persecuted for their faith in you, The sick, those who mourn, the aged and the little children. Reveal yourself to those who do not know your immense love. Bless those who rejoice at your coming!
Glorious Lord, we join our voices to the heavenly host and say: “Glory to God in heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests!”
Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled Joyful all ye nations rise Join the triumph of the skies With angelic hosts proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King Christ by highest heav’n adored Christ the everlasting Lord Late in time behold Him come Offspring of the Virgin’s womb Veiled in flesh the Godhead see Hail the incarnate Deity

O holy night the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining ‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine O night O night divine Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we Let all within us praise His holy name
Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine O night O night divine Christ is the Lord
Oh praise His name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine O night O night divine V E R S E 1 C H O R U S V E R S E 2 C H O R U S C H O R U S 2 C H O R U S
O HOLY NIGHT
ISAIAH 9:6
For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever, and ever. Amen.

The meaning of life is found in Jesus Christ. In him,the questions about identity, meaning, and purpose, are answered with profound hope. God lovingly created each one of us to love, serve, and enjoy relationship with Him. Throughout life we journey to become more like Jesus, who has delivered us from evil, sin, and death. It’s in this relationship that we find our purpose and are offered the opportunity to live life to the full.
