  1. Call to Worship Psalm 33:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!

  2. Once In Royal David’s City • Text: Cecil F. Alexander • Music: Matthew H. Curl Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed; Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child.

  3. He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall; with the poor, and mean, and lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy.

  4. And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heav’n above; and he leads his children on to the place where he has gone.

  5. Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God’s right hand on high; when like stars his children crowned all in white shall be around. “Once In Royal David’s City” • Text: Cecil F.

  6. Prayer of Invocation

  7. Call to Confession of Sin Psalm 32:1-4 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

  8. For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.

  9. Confession of Sin Our Father in heaven, we confess that we have doubted your gracious love. Instead of living like you delight in us, we avoid you in shame and guilt. Instead of receiving your favor as a gift, we try to earn it with our efforts.

  10. Instead of accepting your freedom, we prefer our chains. Instead of pursuing your purposes, we cling to our own agendas. Forgive us. Embrace us. Cleanse us. Heal us. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

  11. (Silent confession)

  12. Assurance of Forgiveness Psalm 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

  13. May the peace of Christ be with you. And also with you.

  14. Offering Malachi 3:10 “Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.”

  15. The Doxology Text: Thomas Ken (1674) Music: “Old 100th” / Genevan Psalter / Louis Bourgeois (1551) Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Public Domain • CCLI License #11109756

  17. Prayers of the People The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray…

  18. Father Eternal, God Almighty, you have brought forth from the root of Jesse a shoot, Jesus our Savior. He is your anointed one, the promised Messiah, in him you are well pleased. We come to you in his service, to offer our prayers of intercession for the coming of his kingdom.

  19. Father Eternal, you have anointed Jesus to be both Lord and Christ. We pray for the Church of Christ that she might be faithful to her Lord, bearing witness to his reign in every land among every people.

  20. Father Eternal, you have anointed Jesus to be our Lord and Shepherd. We pray for those whom you have appointed to be ministers of your gospel. We especially ask for your protection and help for our pastor.

  21. Father Eternal, you have anointed Jesus to be Lord of all the earth. We pray that you draw all people to kneel before the Prince of Peace. Please establish justice and peace between nations in your world.

  22. Father Eternal, you have anointed Jesus King of kings and Lord of lords. We pray for the rulers of our nation that they might be wise, fearing the Lord to whom they must bow in the world to come.

  23. Father Eternal, you have anointed Jesus a counselor and comforter of your people. We pray for those among us who suffer, for those who are lonely, for those without home or family, for those who are depressed and discouraged, for those who are seeking work, for those who are sick, for those who are grieving.

  24. Praise, honor and glory belong to you, Eternal Father, and to your Son, who taught us to pray saying:

  25. 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.

  31. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! O tidings of comfort and joy!

  33. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! O tidings of comfort and joy!

  34. And when they came to Bethlehemwhere our dear Saviour lay,they found him in a manger,where oxen feed on hay;his mother Mary kneeling down,unto the Lord did pray.

  35. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! O tidings of comfort and joy!

  36. Now to the Lord sing praises,all you within this place,and with true love and brotherhoodeach other now embrace;this holy tide of Christmasall others doth deface.
