Christmas Eve Service 2006

WELCOME

† Welcome members & visitors.

† Explain chair situation

† Thank all who gave & give to make this possible


INTRODUCTION

† 25th not Christ’s actual birthday, but it is the day we choose to celebrate His coming into our world, and dying so that we may have life.

† Tonight is for reflection, praise and worship of our King, not as baby Jesus, but as Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for by no other name are you saved.


1 John 4:9-10

9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Galatians 4:4-5

4 But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, 5 to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.
