Memory Verse  “So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God." Luke 1:36 

Psalms 69:29-36;John 1:9-14; Isaiah 52:13-53:1

Christ Jesus comes to us this day. With the angels we sing, “Glory to God in the highest heaven.”
Together we sing for joy.
A baby has been born in Bethlehem. With the shepherds, we kneel before the manger of hope.
Together we sing for joy.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings us good news, who announces salvation, who says to us, “Your God reigns.”
Together we sing for joy.
Sing out with praise! Hope has come to us: to poor and to rich, to old and young, to the infinite sky and the reaved earth, to people of all nations and all hues of color.
Together we sing for joy.
Break forth together in singing! Jesus is born! As we light this candle, the candle which represents Christ, let us sing with praise and joy, for Hope is born today.
Together we sing for joy. Amen.
