Children's Choir Christmas Program 2024

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. It's good to see you here. I hope that you're going to enjoy this.

Our children are going to 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 going to pray, and we'll ask God to bless our time together,.

All right? Amen. Amen.

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. We thank you now in Jesus' name.

Amen. Amen.

And until the time when she who is in labor bears a son, and the rest of his brothers.

Return to join the Israelites, he will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they will live together as one.

And he will be our peace.

Today, in the region of Syria, by the governor of Syria, and the empire of Caesar Augustus, all residents must go to your own town to be registered for taxes.

Come, Mary, we must leave Nazareth and go to Bethlehem. We must register for the tax. Joseph, it's so far. We must go, Mary. Come, Mary. I've brought this donkey. She'll carry you when you are tired. They traveled on.

I never saw this many people. I hope we can find a room. Do you have a room?

Do you have a room?

Innkeeper, 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 went to the stable and stayed amongst the cow and sheep. That night, Mary had her baby, and she wrapped him in pieces of cloth and laid him in the.

Manger.

Joseph named the baby Jesus, as the angel had said, for he will save his people from their sins. And the angels rejoiced.

Shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks. At night, an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. Joseph, here was the angel, praising God and saying,.

When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about to.

Shout, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary shredded up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

The angel of 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.

The star they had seen, when it rose, it went ahead of them until it stopped over the place.

Where the child was. 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 worshipped him.

He ascended into heaven. He shall come again with glory to judge the wicked and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. I believe that the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the.

Prophets, and the prophets said, Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign, and a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, God.

With us.

We thank you for the glory that is promised. Father, we ask that you would give us a good time of fellowship as we are with one another and know that this is a good time.
