Greeting and Announcements: 

Lighting the Christ Candle

Tonight we remember the words of the Prophet Isaiah:

A child is born to us, a son is given to us,

    and authority will be on his shoulders.

    He will be named

    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

    Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

All: We gather to once again bask in the glory that visited a stable and a manger, shepherds watching their flocks, and a young couple cradling the newborn Messiah.

We light the Christ candle as a sign of the glory that came among us in unexpected places and to unexpected people, that we may be people who seek and follow the glory of the Christ child here and now.

All: Merry Christmas to all, thanks be to God!

Born to give us second birth

Go Tell it on the Mountain - Community Band

Verse 1
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Chorus 
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
On blessed Christmas morn

My sweet sweet Jesus Savior
I'd be lost without You Lord
My sweet sweet Jesus Savior
I am Yours forevermore

Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain

Silent Night and Candle Lighting

During Silent Night, ushers will light the candles at the ends of each row—please pass the light along. Children are invited to crack their glow sticks and join in the glow. On the third verse, we’ll step outside together and lift our lights high.

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

Silent night holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav'nly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Verse 3

Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Jesus Lord at Thy birth

Wondrous star lend thy light
With the angels let us sing
