The Merry Christmas, and welcome to the first annual Bard's Christmas special.

Tonight you're going to hear from some very special people who have taken time to speak to Bard's nation on a message of hope and renewal.

This has been a tough year, but the one thing we have with us always is our faith and our love in Christ Jesus and through Christ to the Father.

So tonight, sit back, enjoy.

Enjoy Christmas, God's Christmas, and let us bring in God's winter.

And in so doing, let the glory of all he is bring the light into this world.

So let's pray.

and lead us to the glory that you ask and you provide for us.

And we say these things in Christ Jesus' name. Amen.
