“And it came to pass in those
days, that there went out a de-
cree from Caesar Augustus, that
all the world should be taxed ..
“And all went to be taxed,
every one into his own city.
“And Joseph also went up
from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the
city of David, which is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of
the house and lineage of David;)
“To be taxed with Mary, his
espoused wife, being great with
child.
“And so it was, that, while
they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be
delivered.
“And she brought forth her
firstborn Son, and wrapped Him
in swaddlirg clothes, and laid
Him in a manger; because there
Was no room for them in the
inn.
The GREATEST STORY
EVER TOLD...
Luke 2»I -14
“And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their
flocks by night
“And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about
them; and they were sore afraid.
“And the angel said unto
them, Fear not, for behold, I
bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be unto all
people.
“For unto you is born this day
in the City of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord. , . .
"And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and
saying:
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will
toward men.” —
That, in the words of the
Bible, is the greatest story ever
told. And that will be the theme
of our services throughout the
coining holidays. Conic and wor-
ship with us.
Attend the Children’s Christmas Program on Christmas Err
