O come, let us adore Him! O come, let us adore Him!
O come, let us adore Him – Christ, the Lord!
Sing, choirs of angels’ sing in exultation;
O sing all ye bright hosts of heav’n above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest!
O come, let us adore Him! O come, let us adore Him!
O come, let us adore Him – Christ, the Lord!
We adore You. We adore You. Jesus.
“Joy To the World!”
Watts|Bolen|Eichelberger
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.
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, wonders, of His love.
Let heaven and nature sing, “Glory to God in the Highest”

“Light Shine In”
Paul Mabury/Jacob Sooter
Arise, for the battle's won. Our hearts bow down to the risen Son.
The risen Son. Arise, raise your hands and sing to the one God,
to the one God.
You are the matchless King who tore down the gates of the enemy.
Make way for Christ and sing,
“Let Your kingdom come, let Your kingdom come.”

Prayer
Pastor Tom Moore
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.

Lighting of the Christmas Candles
“Silent Night, Holy Night”
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright.
‘Round yon virgin mother and Child.
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.
STILLE NACHT
Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar; Heavenly hosts sing alleluia.
Christ the Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born!
Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace.
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Silent night, holy night, wondrous star, lend thy light.
With the angels let us sing, Alleluia to our King.
Christ the Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born!
Benediction

PLEASE JOIN US!
If you do not have a church home, we would love to have you worship here with
us. Our traditional worship service, using choir and organ, is at 9:30 am in the
Sanctuary. At 11:00 am in the Great Room we have a contemporary worship
service with a band. Childcare and classes for children are at both service
times. Everyone is invited to participate in the following ministries:
“Believe”

Jesus. Our preaching is based on this study. It answers three driving questions:

• What should I do?
• Who am I becoming?

Thursday mornings. Call the office for times.
