THE CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 118: 24 -27 a) [ Pastor/CONGREGATION ]
Minister: This is the day that the LORD has made; People: Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Minister: Save us, we pray, O LORD! People: O LORD, we pray, grant us your favor!
Minister: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! People: We bless you from the house of the LORD. All: The LORD is God, and He has made His light to shine upon us.
Congregational Prayer of Confession ALL:
Almighty and merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against You and one another in both our actions and our inactions. We recognize that in Jesus Christ our light has come, yet often we choose to walk in shadows and ignore the light.
Gracious God, forgive our sins and remove from us the veil of darkness that shrouds our lives. Illumined by your Word, may we rise to the radiance of Christ’s glory.
We wait upon You with ready hearts, O God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Hear our prayers.
SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION
Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel (1 John 1: 7)
Minister: He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through Him.
Angels from the Realms of Glory Hymn # 259
Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o’er all the earth; Ye who sang creation’s story, Now proclaim Messiah’s birth: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ , the newborn King.
Shepherds in the fields abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant Light: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ , the newborn King.

The Proclamation of Scripture Luke 15 selected passages
To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die. ’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons.
“A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. “When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger!
I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant. ”’ “So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming.
Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. ’ “But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him.
Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found. ’ So the party began. “Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working.
When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, and he asked one of the servants what was going on. ‘Your brother is back, ’ he was told, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return. ’ “The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in.
His father came out and begged him, but he replied, ‘All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends.
Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!’ “His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours.
“We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!’” Luke 15: 32

Go Tell It on the Mountain HYMN 258
Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go tell it on the mountain, That Jesus Christ is born.
Verse 1 While shepherds kept their watching O’er silent flocks by night, Behold, throughout the heavens There shone a holy light
Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go tell it on the mountain, That Jesus Christ is born.
Verse 2 The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! Above the earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior’s birth.
Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go tell it on the mountain, That Jesus Christ is born.

Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go tell it on the mountain, That Jesus Christ is born.
