NARRATOR - Thank you for joining us as we share the Christmas story through worship. Matthew 1:21 says: You are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. And it came to pass in those days that a decree was made from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And Joseph and Mary, who was pregnant with child, also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem.
NARRATOR - There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the Glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were so afraid. But the Angel said to them: "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths a manger.
NARRATOR -
Could the child be a king?
We may not know much about kings
But God knows us.
God cares about us
And He knows what kind of king we need
And how that King should come.
