How Great Is Our God
Angels We Have Heard On High
You Are My King
How Great Is Our God
Verse 1
The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
And trembles at His voice
Chorus
So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
Verse 2
And age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End
The Godhead three in one
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
Bridge
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
Angels We Have Heard On High
Verse 1
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Chorus
Gloria
In excelsis Deo
Gloria
In excelsis Deo
Verse 2
Shepherds why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song
Verse 3
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
You Are My King
Verse
I’m forgiven
Because You were forsaken
I’m accepted
You were condemned
I’m alive and well
Your Spirit is within me
Because You died
And rose again
Chorus
Amazing love
How can it be
That You my King
Would die for me
Amazing love
I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor You
In all I do I honor You
Bridge
You are my King
You are my King
Jesus You are my King
Jesus You are my King
Scripture
The Cast of Christmas: The Angels
Chuck Sams
8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home.
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be calledthe Son of God.
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

Missionary of the Month
Tom & Paula Carr
Tom and Paula are seconded from ABWE to Tri-M (Mobile Modular Missions) and work training local pastors in remote locations. They are based in the United States (Cedarville, OH) and travel to remote locations in Nepal to help teach training modules.
A full schedule would include two modules a year in each of 6 locations. Due to the pandemic, they have been unable to travel to Nepal but are praying that the government would cancel their quarantine requirements and allow groups to meet.
To make a one-time gift (love offering) to the Carrs, you may choose “missionary of the month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here.
FBC will be hosting a Microsoft Teams video meeting with the Carrs on December 19th at 4pm PST. We will email a link when it is available.
Prayer Requests:
• Please pray that we might be able to have modules in the locations where we have begun the curriculum and then expand to new locations as well.
• Please pray for the health of our Nepali brothers and sisters and as they struggle to get food and basic necessities in the midst of intermittent lockdowns.
• Please pray for our children in school to stay healthy while adjusting to the college experience in a pandemic.
