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 and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Children will remain in worship service with their families for the Christmas Pageant. Pageant The First Leon by Dennis and Nan Allen Noel! Noel! If You Wanna Be a Star Just Two Words While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks Hark! the Herald Angels Sing! O Little Town of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Beneath thy deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light: The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight! How silently, how silently the wondrous Gift is giv n! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heav n. No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still the dear Christ enters in O Holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray. Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell. O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!
