GREETING: Pastor Schuyler Rhodes
CALL TO WORSHIP: Rob Bickmore
In the wake of this birth, we fall on our knees in awe.
In the light of the dawn we cherish the star that has moved on.
And in this moment we are called to worship a God who comes to us
As an infant;
A God in a cradle.
So come, Christian community, let us worship our God in love, hope and power.
OPENING HYMN: “Away in a Manger” (UMH 217) played by Marilyn Lee
1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
and stay by my side until morning is nigh

CLOSING HYMN: “There’s a Song in the Air” (UMH 249) played by Marilyn Lee
1 There's a song in the air!
There's a star in the sky!
There's a mother's deep prayer
and a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire
while the beautiful sing,
for the manger of Bethlehem
cradles a King!
2 There's a tumult of joy
o'er the wonderful birth,
for the virgin's sweet boy
is the Lord of the earth.
Ay! the star rains its fire
while the beautiful sing,
for the manger of Bethlehem
cradles a King!
