Bible Reading by Matilda BennettLuke 2: 8-16

That night in the fields near Bethlehem some shepherds were guarding their sheep. All at once an angel came down to them from the Lord, and the brightness of the Lord’s glory flashed around them. The shepherds were frightened. But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid! I have good news for you, which will make everyone happy. This very day in King David’s hometown a Saviour was born for you. He is Christ the Lord. You will know who he is, because you will find him dressed in baby clothes and lying on a bed of hay.”

Suddenly many other angels came down from heaven and joined in praising God. They said:“Praise God in heaven!Peace on earth to everyone who pleases God.”

After the angels had left and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see what the Lord has told us about.” They hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and they saw the baby lying on a bed of hay.

Long time ago in Bethlehem so the holy bible sayMary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas DayShepherds watched their flocks by night, they saw a bright new shining starThey heard a choir singing now, that music seemed to come from a far Hark now hear, the angels sing a new king born todayAnd man will live forever more, because of Christmas dayTrumpets sound and angels singListen to what they sayThat man will live forevermoreBecause of Christmas Day Now Joseph and his Wife MaryCame to Bethlehem that nightThey found no place to bear the childNot a single room was in sightBy and By, they find a little nookIn a stable all forlorn And in that manger cold and dark Marys little boy was born

Hark now hear, the angels sing a new king born todayAnd man will live forever more, because of Christmas dayTrumpets sound and angels singListen to what they sayThat man will live forevermoreBecause of Christmas DayThat man will live forevermoreBecause of Christmas Day

Prayers by Mr da Costa

Silent NightSilent night, holy night,All is calm, all is bright.Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.Holy infant so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night,Shepherds quake at the sight.Glories stream from heaven afar.Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,Christ the Savior is born,Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, holy night,Son of God love’s pure light.Radiant beams from Thy holy face.With dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus Lord, at Thy birth,Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

to all our St Mark’s families!
