Small Groups Report Dec. 10, 2017

Come join us as we travel to several Senior Living centers and spread some

Christmas cheer to the residents!

ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o’er all the earth; Ye who sang creation’s story Now proclaim Messiah’s birth Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn king. Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light:

IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR

It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold "Peace on the earth, goodwill to men From heaven's all-gracious King." The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing

MISSIONS

Haitian Peoples of Haiti

(HAY-shun) - Available pastoral training programs offer academic

degrees and certificates, but the need for day-to-day, practical pas-

toral care and life skills is often overlooked. Pray for missionary Mark

Rutledge and the leadership of Cofraternite Missionaire Baptiste

d'Haiti (CMBH) as they evaluate the available training and prepare

additional training to better meet the needs of leaders in the

churches.
