God With Us, December 22 Worship

On this Fourth Sunday in Advent, we celebrate our Emmanuel (God with us).  Long ago the prophet spoke of this, that God himself would come to be with us. As this promise was about to be fulfilled we
hear the angel tell Joseph to name his new son “Jesus, because he will save his
people from their sins.” This is what we prepare to celebrate: God has come to
be with us, and we know his name is Jesus.
