    "The Work of Christmas" Lyrics:
        When the song of the angels is stilled,
        When the star in the sky is gone,
        When the kings and princes are home,
        When the shepherds are back with their flock,
        The work of Christmas begins:

        To find the lost,
        To heal the broken,
        To feed the hungry,
        To release the prisoner,
        To rebuild the nations,
        To bring peace among brothers,
        To make music from the heart.

●  Postlude: Come Christian Folk (J.S. Bach)

(Please accept my apology for the delay in posting these recordings. I'm plagued by occasional lower back pain, and Sunday night it went full-blown. I've pretty much confined myself to a recliner, so I haven't been able to spend much time working on the recordings.)

Here are links to the iPhone video of the broadcast Facebook Live video of the 9 AM and to the audio of Rev. Brian's opening greeting and announcements and his homily. These audio clips were extracted from the iPhone recording of the Facebook Live video broadcast of Rev. Brian’s with  9 AM morning prayer service. I was unable to include the readings due to the extreme distortion of the sound. Music was provided by Angela Garcia-Clark (singer) and Charles Houmard piano, organ). Included is the accompanying service booklet.
