SUNDAY'S ANTHEM TEXT
Love came down at Christmas, love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas: star and angels gave the sign. Worship we the Godhead, love incarnate, love divine. Worship we our Jesus, but wherewith for sacred sign? Love shall be our token. Love be yours and love be mine. Love to God and neighbor. Love for plea and gift and sign.
REACH UP AND OUT IN FAITH AND LOVE
Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and desires of little children; To remember the weakness, the loneliness of people who are growing old; To stop asking how much your friends love you and ask yourself whether you love them enough; To bear in mind the things that other people have to bear in their hearts; To try to understand what those who live in the same house with you really want, without waiting for them to tell you? Then you can keep Christmas. And if you can keep it for a day, why not always? But you can never keep it alone. - Henry Van Dyke

HUMORESQUE
Dear Heavenly Father,
So far, today, I've done all right. I haven't gossiped or lost my temper. I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, or self centered. I'm really happy about that so far. But in a few minutes I'm going to be getting out of bed and then I'm going to need a lot of help. Thank you! Amen.
