Immanuel O come, O Key of David, come, And open wide our heavenly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery: Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel O come, O Day-spring, come and cheer Our spirits by your advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight: Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel Prayersiii God, you came to your people in the past.

  • First Church in Cambridge Advent
    ADVENT FIRST CHURCH IN CAMBRIDGE Congregational 1633-1636 United Church of Christ Garden and Mason Streets Cambridge, Massachusetts WELCOME TO FIRST CHURCH IN CAMBRIDGE... Grounded in God • Growing in Community • Acting in Love These past months have brought home to all of us the vital importance of working together to slow and limit the spread of Coronavirus. We know we are called to be a community of faith, not fear. We also know we are called to care for the most vulnerable in our midst, to be good stewards of our staff and resources, and to be good citizens of the wider community. Under normal circumstances, people of faith would care for each other by drawing close together. It’s what we do. It’s who we are. In times of loss or threat, we respond by coming together to pray and to sing, to hug and hold each other tight. Pandemics are different. During an outbreak such as the one we are facing now, we are called to care for each other by moving farther apart, creating a holy buffer of social distance. We do this not only for our own safety and the safety of the people around us, but in loving stewardship to our wider world. Even when apart, we are not alone. God is with us, in every heartbeat, every breath: strengthening, comforting, and upholding us. Christ is with us, walking beside us, sharing our trials, speaking peace to our fears. The Spirit is with us, uniting us one to another across the barrier of physical distance.
