-	Let us bow in prayer.	7:08
	Oh, God, our Father,	7:14
	who has brought us again to this glad season	7:17
	when we commemorate the birth	7:20
	of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ,	7:24
	grant to us deep humility,	7:29
	open mind and open heart,	7:34
	that we may receive him into our own lives.	7:37
	May he be born in you, cleansing us of sin,	7:43
	of selfishness,	7:49
	of prejudice,	7:52
	that in us and through us his kingdom may come,	7:55
	for this prayer we make in the name of him	7:59
	who taught us to say, our Father who art in heaven,	8:01
	hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come,	8:06
	thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.	8:10
	Give us this day our daily bread,	8:13
	and forgive us our trespasses	8:16
	as we forgive those who trespass against us,	8:18
	and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil	8:22
	for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory	8:26
	forever.	8:30
	Amen.	8:32
	This morning, our service	8:37
	is in the charge of our youth choir.	8:40
	We regret so much that (indistinct) is sick.	8:44
	He came down Friday night with a high temperature,	8:49
	he's not with us this morning.	8:53
	Mrs. Cooper, our organist, was also sick with flu	8:55
	and is not able to be with us this morning.	8:58
	And we thought until yesterday that Dr. Abernathy	9:02
	would be playing for us, but he's sick.	9:07
	And so Mr. Felastine at the very last moment,	9:09
	has come in and volunteered to work with us.	9:12
	We hope that you're well.	9:15
	We march in prayer as we move through this service	9:17
	and I'm sure that these young people,	9:18
	on the leadership of Mr. Felastine	9:21
	will lead us in a very worshipful experience.	9:22
	Let us turn now to 381, "O Little Town of Bethlehem".	9:25

	In the beginning was the word	13:30
	and the word was with God,	13:33
	and the Word was God.	13:36
	The same as in the beginning with God,	13:39
	all things were made by him	13:42
	and without him was not anything made that was made.	13:45
	(soft music)	13:54
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	13:57
	(bells chiming)	14:33
	In him was life	14:51
	and the life was the light of man	14:53
	and the light shineth in darkness	14:56
	and the darkness comprehended it not.	14:58
	(bells chiming)	15:03
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	15:32
	He was in the world and the world was made by him	15:59
	and the world knew him not.	16:04
	He came unto his own and his own received him not,	16:07
	but as many as received him,	16:11
	to them gave he power to become the sons of God,	16:15
	even to them that believe on his name.	16:18
	(soft music)	16:24
	(bells chiming)	16:28
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	16:40
	(bells chiming)	17:09
	For unto us a child is born,	17:44
	unto us a son is given,	17:48
	and the government shall be upon his shoulder.	17:51
	And his name shall be called wonderful, counselor,	17:54
	the mighty God, the everlasting Father,	17:58
	the prince of peace.	18:02
	(bells chiming)	18:04
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	18:17
	And it came to pass in those days	20:11
	that there went to a decree from Caesar Augustus,	20:14
	that all the world should be taxed.	20:18
	And this taxing was first made	20:21
	when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.	20:23
	And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city.	20:26
	(soft music)	20:33
	(congregation humming)	20:46
	(bells chiming)	21:19
	And Joseph also went up from Galilee	21:31
	out of the city of Nazareth into Judea,	21:34
	and to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem	21:38
	because he was of the house and lineage of David	21:42
	to be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife,	21:46
	being great with child.	21:49
	And so it came to pass while they were there,	21:52
	the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.	21:55
	And she brought forth her firstborn son	21:58
	and wrapped him in swaddling clothes	22:02
	and laid him in a manger because there was no room	22:03
	for them in the inn.	22:07
	(soft music)	22:11
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	22:18
	(bells chiming)	25:12
	And there where in the same country,	25:33
	shepherds abiding in the field,	25:34
	keeping watch over their flock by night.	25:37
	And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them	25:41
	and the glory of the Lord shone round about them.	25:44
	And they were sure afraid.	25:48
	And the angel said unto them...	25:50
-	"Fear not for behold	25:52
	I bring you good tidings of great joy,	25:54
	which shall be to all people for unto you is born this day	25:57
	in the city of David, a savior, which is Christ the Lord.	26:02
	And this shall be a sign unto you.	26:07
	You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,	26:09
	lying in a manger."	26:13
-	And suddenly there was with the angels a multitude	26:15
	of the heavenly host praising God and saying...	26:18
-	"Glory to God in the highest,	26:22
	and on Earth peace, good will toward men."	26:26
	(bells chiming)	26:29
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	26:54
-	And it came to pass as the angels were going away	28:35
	from them into heaven,	28:39
	the shepherds said one to another...	28:41
-	"Let us now go even unto Bethlehem	28:44
	and see this thing which has come to pass,	28:47
	which the Lord hath made known unto us."	28:49
	♪ Angels from the realms of glory ♪	28:57
	♪ Wing your flight o'er all the earth ♪	29:01
	♪ Ye who sang creation's story ♪	29:08

-	And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph	31:25
	and the baby lying in a manger.	31:29
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	31:39
	And when they had seen it,	33:57
	they made known abroad the saying	34:00
	which was told them concerning this child.	34:02
	And all they that heard it wondered at those things	34:06
	which were told them by the shepherds.	34:08
	♪ A baby is born on (singing indistinctly) ♪	34:16
	♪ To bring salvation unto Earth ♪	34:22
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	34:28
	♪ Hallelujah, hallelujah ♪	34:35

	♪ Hallelujah, hallelujah ♪	35:35
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	35:45
	♪ Hallelujah, hallelujah ♪	36:06
	But Mary kept all these things,	36:19
	and pondered them in her heart.	36:22
	Just turn to hymn number 395.	36:27
	Stand as we sing.	36:30
	(soft music)	36:35
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	37:17
-	May we now all join our hearts and minds together	39:45
	as we make our prayer to God.	39:47
	Let us pray.	39:50
	Oh, God, our heavenly father,	39:55
	our hearts and minds are filled with joy and gladness	40:01
	at this Christmas season.	40:07
	While we sing with the angels and the shepherds	40:12
	and the wise men of the great glory	40:15
	of thy son, Jesus Christ,	40:17
	and of thy great love for us	40:21
	that sent him into the world	40:25
	that we might know of that love for us.	40:30
	And that we might know how to order our lives,	40:35
	to do thy will and to receive the abundant life,	40:39
	the peace that passes all understanding,	40:47
	the joy and the assurance that comes to us,	40:53
	even in all our adversity,	40:57
	even in sickness and distress	41:01
	and hardship and persecution.	41:05
	And so we (indistinct) sing with joy and happiness	41:12
	at such love.	41:19
	And we are full of joy and happiness oh, God,	41:26
	at this Christmas time	41:28
	also because of the memories and associations	41:32
	that we all have had at Christmas time.	41:35
	It is a time when we think of home	41:42
	and of loved ones.	41:46
	It's a time when we feel thy presence with us	41:51
	in our homes and with our families and our friends.	41:55
	And it's a time when also we remember	42:04
	not only the Christmas story, but the Easter story,	42:09
	and all the days in between.	42:16
	And we, again, rejoice.	42:22
	But oh, God, we would not be truthful	42:27
	if we did not lift up to thee this morning,	42:30
	along with our joy and our happiness	42:35
	and our sense of assurance.	42:39
	This weary world that we live in	42:44
	with all of its misery and aches and pains,	42:48
	with its all of its anger	42:55
	and hatred,	42:58
	with all of its fighting and strife,	43:01
	and we cry out from the depths of our soul,	43:06
	that through us and through this church	43:12
	and through thy church universal,	43:15
	the prince of peace may come again through us.	43:20
	And we pray this morning oh Lord,	43:28
	that men might not only fight for peace,	43:29
	but also learn to work for peace	43:35
	and to sacrifice lovingly for peace.	43:40
	And so God, our cry goes out this morning,	43:47
	above all other cries,	43:51
	for peace	43:54
	and good will	43:56
	among men.	43:59
	We ask thee oh, Lord to be present with us this morning,	44:03
	as we sing of our savior	44:08
	and of thy love,	44:12
	as we read those familiar words of the Christmas story.	44:15
	As we all sing together,	44:21
	may thy love and peace reign in our hearts this day,	44:26
	and all the days ahead,	44:32
	that we may raise our voices	44:35
	continually enjoy,	44:39
	telling the world that Christ	44:41
	is indeed	44:44
	Lord and savior	44:46
	of the world.	44:49
	While we make our humble prayer	44:52
	in his blessed name.	44:55
	Amen.	44:59
	We would like to call your attention	45:07
	to just one announcement this morning	45:09
	and that is our communion service on Christmas Eve.	45:12
	We hope that all of you will find a few moments	45:16
	in this busy	45:19
	and very rush time	45:21
	to stop a moment at the Lord's table	45:24
	and to commune with him	45:27
	and your fellow members of this church.	45:28
	I'm sure that if you will do that,	45:31
	that it will be a rich blessing	45:33
	and that your Christmas will be more meaningful to you.	45:38
	As you know, at this service each year,	45:42
	we take up an offering for our sextons,	45:46
	Mr. Charlie Poteat and Mr. Lawrence Warren.	45:50
	These two gentlemen have labored long	45:56
	and sacrificially for this church through the years,	45:59
	many times beyond the call of duty	46:03
	at all hours of the night and day,	46:06
	and on Saturdays and Sundays,	46:09
	to make our church more worshipful,	46:12
	to prepare things for our meetings.	46:15
	And at this time of year, we'd like to share our love	46:17
	and expression of our appreciation to them.	46:21
	So there will be ushers stationed at the doors	46:25
	when you leave and you would like to make a contribution	46:27
	to these two gentlemen, if you would do so then.	46:32
	May we we now offer our substance to God	46:36
	and to his church.	46:41
	(soft music)	47:02
	(congregation singing indistinctly)	47:24
	And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God	49:20
	for all the things that they had heard and seen	49:24
	as it was told unto them.	49:27

	We beheld his glory,	51:43
	the glory as of the only begotten of the father,	51:45
	full of grace and truth.	51:48
	(soft music)	51:51
	(bells chiming)
