Welcome to Bedford Church of the Nazarene We would like to take this opportunity to welcome & thank you for worshipping with us today. We pray that you feel the Presence of our Almighty & living God in our service. If you are a first-time visitor, please check the seat pocket in front of you and fill out the “buff” color card. Take it to the Guest Services Desk after the service & receive your Welcome Gift. Luke 2:10-14 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
