Welcome & Greetings

*Call to Worship(Responsive Reading):

Leader: Arise Jerusalem and shine like the sun; for your light has come;

People: The glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

Leader: Behold, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples,

People: But on you the light of the Lord will shine, the brightness of God's presence will be seen upon you.

Leader: Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

People: Lift up your eyes and look about you.

*Opening Hymn ‘Go, Tell It on the Mountain’ UMH#251

*Opening Prayer (in Unison) Almighty God, by the birth of your Son Jesus you gave us a great light to dawn on our darkness. Grant that in his light we may see light. Bestow upon us that most excellent Christmas gift of love to all people, so that the likeness of your Son may be formed in us, through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen!
