Praying the Christmas Story
Focus: The Christmas Story using Christmas Hymns and Carols
Format:
- Begin each segment with a scripture reading relevant to the theme of that segment.
- Sing at least one verse of a Christmas hymn or carol
- Facilitate prayers launched from the scripture or the story of the song
Segments: Scripture / Song / Emphasis
Luke 2:15 "O Come All Ye Faithful" Express our desire to seek Him, praise Him…
Micah 5:2 "O Little Town of Bethlehem" Welcome Jesus into our gathering, our lives . . .
Luke 2:8 "Silent Night, Holy Night" Prayers declaring Christ as Savior, redeemer . . .
Psalm 98: 4, 9 "Joy to the World" Intercede for empty hearts to make room for Jesus . . .
Luke 2:17 "Go Tell it on the Mountain" Fill us, empower us, send us . . .
Note: We are sorry we didn't send this prayer
meeting idea in November, so you could use it this Christmas season.
Perhaps store it away for next year--or use it at your next prayer time
as a way to relive and "re-pray" Christmas.
