An atmospheric Christmas bulletin cover featuring a full-color photograph of a traditional white church with a tall steeple at night, bathed in warm amber light and reflected in a dark still pond in the foreground, with bare winter trees silhouetted against the deep blue night sky. A scatter of bokeh light dots suggests distant stars or distant lights. The title "O Holy Night" is rendered at the top in large, flowing gold script lettering, with the subtitle "A Thrill of Hope" beneath in smaller dark italic text. The lower portion of the cover bears the full scripture text in bold white uppercase: "FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD." The reference Luke 2:11 (KJV) appears in smaller lettering at the very bottom.
