Welcome to carols and our pre-Christmas look at preparing for Christmas.
The weather outside has been pretty frightful, but the passage we're looking at today as Zechariah sings to hail the birth of his rather special son is quite delightful ... I just hope it's not going be allowed to snow any more this week!
Let's start the carols and readings ...

In conclusion today, let's commit our lives and our place in His plan to Almighty God as we pray ...
Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month.
For no word from God will ever fail.”
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.”
Lord grant us the grace to accept with gratitude the course set out for us, enable us to embrace it, willingly serving the Lord Who willingly laid aside all that was His in Glory, took upon Himself the form of a servant, humbling Himself to death - even the death of the Cross - and gave His life for our salvation.
Grant us Christ in our Christmas, the joy of His fellowship at this time of year and the joy of His salvation.
Enable us, with gladdened hearts, to prepare in our lives the Way of the Lord as He come to us afresh while we celebrate once more His gracious Incarnation.
We ask for Jesus' sake and Glory.
AMEN.
