Children's Choir Christmas Program 2024

Good to see all of you here. I know if you had your way, you'd be crowding your way to these front pews, but they're already reserved for the children, so I'm sorry about that.

Good to see you here. I hope that you're gonna enjoy this. Our children are gonna minister God's word to you.

You're going to see how, you're going to see the story that we're all familiar with, with these children ministering to us through song and through word.

So before they come, I'm gonna pray and I'll ask God to bless our time together, all right? God of heaven, we are so thankful for our children.

We're thankful for music. And Lord, when you put those two together, it's just a marvelous, marvelous thing to see.

We're thankful that we can see the story of the Lord Jesus entering the stream of humanity in this way.

And we pray, Father, not just for us as we listen. We pray for these children as through these songs that they have rehearsed, they learn these truths as well that will stay with them the rest of their lives.

Thank you now for our time together of worship. Thank you that we can hear our children sing praises to you.

And we'll thank you now in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. We will live securely.

For then, His greatness will reign. And He will be our peace. Governor of Syria and the empire of Caesar Augustus, all residents must go to your own town to be registered for taxes.

We must go, Mary. Come, Mary. I've borrowed this donkey. She'll carry you when you are tired.

Keeper, do you have a room? My wife is about to have a baby. We could stay there,

Mary. At least we would be dry. Joseph named the baby as the angel had said, for he will save his people from their sins.

And the angels rejoiced. Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea.

During the reign of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, where is the one who was born king of the

Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him. They went on their way, and the star they had seen, when it rose, it went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.

And when they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother,

Mary. And they bowed down and worshiped him. Crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, he suffered and was buried.

The third day he rose again according to the scriptures. He ascended into heaven.

He sits on the right hand of the father. He shall come again with glory to judge the quick and the dead.

Whose kingdom shall have no end. In the

Holy Ghost, the Lord and the giver of life, who proceeds from the father and the son, who with the father and the son together, is worshiped and glorified.

Who spoke by the prophets and the prophets said. The Lord himself will give you a sign and a virgin will conceive and a birth to a son and they will call him
