On Christmas Eve/Christmas Day

We light the center/white Christ candle with great joy and celebration, because Christ is born in Bethlehem. God’s Son has come into the world to be our Savior! Jesus the Christ, Jesus the Good Shepherd, Jesus who forgives our sins, Jesus who will come again, Jesus the son of Mary, the Son of David, and the very Son of God!

Dear God, as we light this candle, we rejoice in the birth of your Son. May we worship him, welcome him, and make room for him in our hearts. O come, let us adore him! Amen!
