PRELUDE

WELCOME | Jason Campbell, director of music ministries

CALL TO WORSHIP | Hazem Farraj, director of children and student ministries

Welcome to this joyous celebration as we gather together for our Christmas concert!

Today, we begin a journey filled with the spirit of Christmas, a season of love, joy, and hope.

In this magical time of year, let us pause to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of a child in Bethlehem, a gift of love that changed the world forever.

In the glow of twinkling lights and the sounds of carols, let us join in harmony, celebrating the bonds of family and friendship that make this season truly special.

Let the magic of Christmas fill this space!

May the spirit of Christmas shine brightly in each one of us. Let the celebration begin!

O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.

Come and behold him, born the King of angels;

(refrain) O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!

Glory to God in the highest; (refrain)

Hark! the Herald Angels Sing

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King”,

Joyful, all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies;

With th’angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

(refrain) Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King!”

Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord,

Late in time behold him come, offspring of the virgin’s womb.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail th’incarnate Deity,

Pleased with us in flesh to swell, Jesus, our Emmanuel. (refrain)
