Bidden Prayer- By the Presiding Priest/Bishop
In the name of Christ, and His Church 1 bid you welcome to Bethel Home Convent. We have come together as the family of God in our father’s presence to prepare for the festival of Christmas. In this service, we hear and receive the story and message of the birth of Christ, and we offer to God our thanksgiving in the joyful singing of carols.
But first let us pray: for all Christian people, that by this festival they may be renewed to fulfill Christ’s work in the world, for the world, which is already Christ’s, that those who bear responsibility for its future, in politics, in industry, in commerce for the establishment of justice, freedom and peace everywhere; for all in special need, the sick, the anxious, the unemployed, the lonely, the fearful and the bereaved. We commend all whom we love, or who have asked for our prayers, to the unfailing love of our heavenly father, and say together as Christ Himself taught us:
Our Lord’s Prayer., Our father…………………
May the humility of the Shepherds, the faith of the wise men, the joy of the angles and peace of the child, Christ be God’s gifts to us and to all men, this Christmas and always, Amen.

Carol: While Shepherds Watched their flocks A&M 62 (Choir)
- While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.
- “Fear not,” said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
“glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.
- “To you, in David’s town, this day
is born of David’s line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 “The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid.”
5 Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 “All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease.”

Carol: Once in Royal David’s City A&M 432 (Choir & Congregation)
- Once in royal David’s city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby.
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little child
- He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was stall:
With the poor, and meek,
and lowly Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3. And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above,
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
4. Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven;
When like starts His children crowned,
All in white shall wait around
