Festival Holy Eucharist

Service of Lessons and Carols: At Christmas, God comes pleading: pleading for a place to be born. Pleading: because have you noticed how little space we make for Jesus in our world?

Advent IV: How we can live in a world that has both Botticelli’s Annunciation and school shootings is beyond me.

Bethlehem Prayer Service: At Christmas we are always invited again to remember where our true allegiance lies.

Advent III: What is our call? What is our passion? If we fill in the blank with “I’m a Christian” what does that mean? How do we manifest that in our lives?

Advent II: God sends us messengers; voices crying out in desert places; smoothing, straightening, leveling; preparing the way. And all the while, these deeply faithful ones call us to let go of the old; to lay down every single solitary thing that keeps us from embracing God’s newness.

Advent I: What do we see when we slow down? What do we see when we intentionally wait and watch? What messenger may God be sending to you and to me in this Advent season?

Advent I: Though we hope for the new world as an act of God, we can begin even now to live as if that world was our present reality.

Christ the King: In Jesus, all that God is, all that God loves, all that God imagines resides and rules and reigns among us.
