A Chrismon Service

It is our prayer that through this service Jesus Christ will be so lifted up, exalted and glorified that men will be drawn to him, bow before him, and worship him as Savior and Lord. Gloria Excelsis Deo.

Closing: O Holy Night

As you enter this evening you were offered a "Chrismon" to use in decorating the Christ- tree. After the pastor reads the meaning of that emblem, and during the song that follows, you may approach the tree with other having the same emblem and decorate the tree.


Readings and Carols

Malachi 3:16
"Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one with another; and the Lord hearkened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord and that THOUGHT ON HIS NAME."

Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised. 4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. - Psalm 113:1

People are given Chrismons representing any of the 600 names or titles of Jesus Christ. During the reading and singing of the accompanying hymn they may proceed to the Christ-tree to honor the Lord with the appropriate Chrismon.
