Hymns: NEH 47,52, 49,48

First Reading 		Isaiah 60:1-6
Arise, shine; for your light has come,
    and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For darkness shall cover the earth,
    and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
    and his glory will appear over you.
Nations shall come to your light,
    and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Lift up your eyes and look around;
    they all gather together, they come to you;
your sons shall come from far away,
    and your daughters shall be carried on their nurses’ arms.
Then you shall see and be radiant;
    your heart shall thrill and rejoice,
because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you,
    the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
A multitude of camels shall cover you,
    the young camels of Midian and Ephah;
    all those from Sheba shall come.
They shall bring gold and frankincense,
    and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord.

Psalm 72, 10-15
R. May all nations be blest in him.

The kings of Tarshish and the isles shall pay tribute;
the kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring gifts.
All kings shall fall down before him
all nations shall do him service. R

For he shall deliver the poor that cry out,
the needy and those who have no helper.
He shall have pity on the weak and poor;
he shall preserve the lives of the needy. R

He shall redeem their lives from oppression and violence,
and dear shall their blood be in his sight.
Long may he live; unto him may be given gold from Sheba;
may prayer be made for him continually, and may they bless him all the day long. R

Second Reading 		Ephesians 3:1-12
This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles— for surely you have already heard of the commission of God’s grace that was given to me for you, and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I wrote above in a few words, a reading of which will enable you to perceive my understanding of the mystery of Christ. In former generations this mystery was not made known to humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that is, the Gentiles have become fellow-heirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Of this gospel I have become a servant according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him.

Gospel Acclamation
We saw his star as it rose and have come to do homage to the Lord. 

Gospel 			Matthew 2:1-12
In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.’ When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born They told him, ‘In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet:
 “And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler  who is to shepherd my people Israel.”’
Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, ‘Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.’  When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road.

Intercessions 
We pray that the light of Christ would draw the world to God as the star drew the wise men to Bethlehem that first Christmas.
We pray for those who have wandered far from God’s purpose. May they find people who can point them towards God’s loving presence, where they will find rest, refreshment and new direction.
We pray for those who are lost, angry or afraid and tempted to hurt others because they find their pain too hard to bear. We ask for God’s comfort and strength to fill their lives and give them grace to become channels of God’s love instead of bearers of hurt.
We pray for those who through illness or mental or spiritual suffering cannot walk the path they once imagined for their life. We ask God to draw close to them and help them find new purpose and affirmation.
We pray for the departed, especially remembering Wilburn Hall, Catherine Murray, George Alexander, David Bancroft, Paul Russell, John Boyes, Lawrence Dowman, Margaret Emms, Robert Fletcher, Robert Hurrell, Lillian Hurrell, Frank Wilson, Kay Thompson, whose years mind falls this week.
