We go as a Christmas people
Let us go from this place and 
listen for angels and look for a star; to see in every humble face a shepherd, and in every act of kindness, the gift of kings. We have made our pilgrimage, if not to Bethlehem of old, then to the Bethlehem of the heart, and welcomed the Holy One....
We go as a Christmas people, for to such God has called us.
