Christmas in our Church - We wish you a Merry Christmas!
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes, a
nd laid him
in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in
the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their
flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of
the lord shone round about them, and they were so afraid. And the angel said
unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people. For unto you this day is born in the City of
Bethlehem, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto
you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host,
praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good
will toward men.' -Luke 2:7-14 (KJV)
