HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! The Prayer Jesus taught us. All: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Lighting of the Advent Wreath & Procession to the Creche Hymn 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; O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing, all ye citizens of heaven above; glory to God in the highest: O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. See how the shepherds summoned to his cradle, leaving their flocks, draw nigh with lowly fear; we too with thither bend our joyful footsteps; O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. Story Time Hymn 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. All who are baptized are welcome to receive Communion, especially the children. A thank you to Jesus Leader: All: Blessing of the Manger Hymn Silent night! Holy night!
