Prelude

Welcome

Advent Wreath Call To Worship

Love has come, a light in the darkness!

Love explodes in the Bethlehem skies.

See all heaven has come to proclaim it;

Hear how their song of joy arises:

Love! Love! Born unto you, a Savior!

Love! Love! Glory to God on high.

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus on this Christmas Eve and rejoice in His coming to us, we light the Christ candle. Jesus Christ is our hope. He is our peace. Jesus Christ is our joy. He is love – pure, holy undying love. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
