the Lord’s day in Worship PRELUDE OF CAROLS Carol Selections Brass Quintet & Organ CALL TO WORSHIP
CONGREGATIONAL CAROL NO. 182 “O Come, All Ye Faithful” LIGHTING OF THE CHRIST CANDLE Stu & Sandy Dodge
We light the candle of hope to remind us that Christ is our hope. We light the candle of peace to remind us that Christ is our peace. We light the candle of joy to remember that Christ is our joy. We light the candle of love to remember that Christ is the visible proof of God’s love. We light the Christ candle to remind us that the Light of the World was born this night. The scriptures tell us that, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light. On those living in the land of deep darkness a light had dawned.” (Isaiah 9:2)
CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE: “For to 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.” That child is also called Emmanuel, for in Christ, God is with us. Thanks be to God. Amen.
