SUMMARY SENTENCE
In Jesus, we see that God has come near to rescue us

PRAYER
Lord God, as we gear up to celebrate the birth of Jesus, I want to join with the angels in singing praises to you. For you have sent your very own Son to live among us and rescue us from the chaos we've created. What more could I ask? Glory to you! Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
