Hymn 202 Oh,come,all ye faithful
(EVERYONE ENTERING FOR FINAL HYMN)
NARRATOR-Christmas is a special time, when most people remember the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer. We have many traditions this date.Christmas trees, turkey ... it's very good that these traditions can unite families, and that we take this time to serve our neighbor, in fact it should be done every day,and not just at Christmas. God rejoices greatly at seeing their children together. He rejoices even more when we remember the sacrifice of His son Jesus Christ and decided to serve and love our neighbor.
We hope that all who are here to always remember Christ. The example of humility and service to others that he showed us. And when we remember the birth of that baby.And how through the light of a star in the sky, many came up to Jesus Christ,remember: You also have this light ... A light that will help many others to come untoChrist
Share this light; being an example by loving and serving others.
"Therefore let your light shine before
this people, that they may see
your good works and glorify your Father
which is in heaven. "3 Nephi 12:16
"End"
