1 CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE December 24, :00 PM Prelude Praise Band Welcome Opening Prayer Passing of the Peace Leader: The Peace of the Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Carol (Please share God s peace with one another.) O Come, All Ye Faithful Lighting the Christ Candle Kathy and Jim Drinkard; Ryan, Stephanie, and Gemma Richards Reader: Jesus said, I am the light of the world; those who follow me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life. People: We light these candles as a sign of the coming light of Christ. (Four Advent candles are lit.) Reader: Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For darkness shall cover the earth and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord shall arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you. Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. (Isaiah 60:1-3) (The Christ candle is lit.) Please stand if able.

2 Reader: All: Carol Let us pray. God of grace and power, as you came at night when all was still, so enter our lives this night. Illumine our paths with the light of Christ s presence, that we may clearly see the way before us, the truth to speak, and the life to live for him, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

4 Welcome Friends of Grace... Old and New! Our Mission: -Growing in Spirit -Living as Disciples -Serving God s World If you re visiting us for the first time, here is information on what we offer at Grace Presbyterian Church: MISSION AT GRACE From our birth in 1954, Grace has been a mission-driven church. In addition to the needs Grace has met over the years, we are currently engaged in several major mission initiatives. First, Grace has been in partnership with Honduras Outreach, Inc., for over a decade, sponsoring week-long mission trips to Honduras for community development. We are also excited about our partnership with the St. Philip Church in Nablus, in the West Bank. The Christian community in Palestine and Israel is shrinking, so we are thankful to share a ministry with them that keeps us in touch with our unbroken roots to Christ s Apostles. The Grace Preschool, supported by the church, has been in operation since With wonderful staff, children, and parents, we not only meet the educational and developmental needs of area children, but do so in a way that is unapologetically Christian. For over 2 decades, dedicated men, women, and youth of Grace Church gather on Monday evenings to tutor children identified by their counselors at Crestwood, Lynnbrook, and Garfield Elementary Schools for special assistance. Grace is a busy place on Thursdays too, as we sponsor the Nurturing Parenting program, a ministry supported by Fairfax County, to train parents and families in building healthy, supportive lives together. We could go on, but hope this gives you a glimpse of the many ways Grace Church responds to the needs of members, neighbors, and the world to share the Good News of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. Our Risen Lord continues to meet us in paths of service. Won t you come and join us? SUNDAY WORSHIP We celebrate one worship service on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. during the school year, and 10:00 a.m. during the Summer. Worship incorporates elements of both contemporary and traditional worship, so that all will find spiritual touchstones in a shared setting. The Lord s Supper is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month, and biweekly throughout the month. Children are welcomed in the service. A time for sharing the faith with them is part of the liturgy each week. After sharing, children may stay or go to: Play n' Worship - Where children ages 3 and 4 learn Bible stories in playful and concrete ways. Bridges to Worship - Where children ages 5 through 3rd grade are introduced to the elements of worship as they hear a new Bible story each week. Childcare - provided for infants and toddlers during church school and worship every Sunday morning. 4

5 ADULT EDUCATION MINISTRY Sunday morning classes and groups start up again on January 8th at 9:15 a.m. In addition to the ongoing Young Adults Group in the Tower Room, adult classes will continue in the Family Room, with an exploration of the Gospel in a class called A Year with Jesus. If you are interested in starting a new group or teaching a class, please feel free to talk to our Adult Discipleship elder, Nelson Thurman. CHILDREN S MINISTRY The Children's Ministry at Grace Church is an active and vital part of our community. Along with weekly Sunday School at 9:15 a.m., we also offer: Club For preteens in grades 4-6, Club 456 meets on the second Sunday of the month throughout the school year from 6-8 p.m. for fellowship, games, projects, and themed lessons. YOUTH MINISTRY Youth Group for grades 7-12 meets in the church s Wester Hall on Sundays from 6-8 p.m. It s a night of games, skits, and small group discussions as they grow closer to God together. Highlights of the year include an annual Fall Retreat, 30-Hour Famine, Honduras Mission Trip, and Tri-Cities Work Camp. AGING WITH GRACE MINISTRY The Aging with Grace ministry serves older adults and family caregivers. It includes monthly Brown Bag Lunch discussions on a variety of topics; Bunco, the Proverbs 17:22 Club; an ongoing Support Group for Caregivers of Older Adults; an Information Station with resource materials for older adults and their caregivers; delivery of Grace communication to those who are homebound; and other special events such as field trips, fellowship events, and school tutoring support. Members, neighbors or visitors may participate in any AWG event. STEPHEN MINISTRY Grace Church has trained Stephen Ministers to care for those who are facing tough times and could benefit from the support of a caring Christian friend. If you feel like this could be a helpful opportunity for you to navigate a difficult season in your life, please speak to a pastor to express your interest in meeting with a Stephen Minister. Or, if you have gifts of compassion and caring for others and have questions about becoming a Stephen Minister, please contact the Stephen Minister leaders whose names you will find on the back of the Prayer Request card in the pew. 5
