CALL TO WORSHIP:
While shepherds kept watching O’er silent flocks by night.
Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light.
    Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere.
    Go, tell on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born!
The Shepherds feared and trembled When lo! Above the earth,
    Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior’s birth.
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born!
    Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born,
    And God sent us salvation That blessed Christmas morn.
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere.
    Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born!
INVOCATION;                                                      Dr. Domske
* Hymn      While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks          #118
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:       (unison)
Our Father in Heaven, as we draw closer to the holy night of
Christmas, we are afraid to compare ourselves to Mary, Joseph,
And the Christ Child.  They are so pure, but we are so selfish.
They appear to us sinless, while we are full of sin.  Take our sins away, Lord.  Wash us clean and pure.  We are sorry we have approached life selfishly. We are sorry we have sinned.
We want to be Your sons and daughters as You made us to be.
Wash our sins away in the Christ Child’s Name.
