*Confession of Faith - (WSC Q. 22)
Q. 22. How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?
A. Christ, the Son of God, became man, by taking to himself a true body, and a reasonable soul, being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the virgin Mary, and born of her, yet without sin.
*Hymn No. 213 - What Child Is This
Confession of Sin - (responsive)
God, our Savior, we confess the brokenness of our world.
It is filled with unrest, uncertainty, violence, and greed.
We are sorry for the times our selfishness and pride have hurt You, Your creation, and our neighbors.
We are sorry that in seeking our own comfort, we have become oblivious to the suffering of others.
Forgive us, and help us to trust and rely on You for healing in our lives and the world around us.
We pray this in Jesus’ name and in the power of Your Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Assurance of Pardon - Psalm 130:3–4
If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.

Call to Worship - Isaiah 59:20
And a Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the LORD.
Invocation
*Hymn No. 194 - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Scripture Reading - Luke 2:1–20
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them,
“Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths 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 among those with whom he is pleased!”
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
