  • Guidelines on the Christian Calendar and Christian Holy Days
    Status of document: This document has been adopted by DEWCOM please refer to the following URL: http://www.mcsadewcom.blogspot.com The Methodist Church of Southern Africa Doctrine, Ethics and Worship Committee Guidelines on the Christian Calendar and Christian Holy Days Introduction The Christian Calendar and Holy Days tell the story of God in human life in Jesus Christ The Christian understanding of God and the experience of personal and social redemption and renewal through Jesus Christ are shaped by participating, by means of liturgy and worship, in the story of God’s coming into human life in Jesus Christ. Each event in the story of God’s coming into human life in Jesus Christ contributes to God’s renewal of humanity, but no single event is complete in itself, as each event leads to the next. When people experience these events as one continuous story throughout the year and the story is repeated year after year, individuals and communities develop mature, balanced and living faith in God and renewal through Jesus Christ. The story of God’s coming into human life in Jesus Christ The story that the Christian Calendar and Holy Days tells The story of God’s coming into human life in Jesus Christ begins with the promise of renewal and the call to repentance. It continues with the birth of the Christ Child amidst humble humanity and his presentation to all humanity. Jesus Christ is baptized among people who long for and expect a Messiah to bring personal and social redemption and renewal. After defining his mission and the manner of his ministry through prayer and fasting, Jesus speaks and acts among them.

    TRACING THE TRADITIONS Columns on the traditions, prayers and practices of the Christian faith. Articles are written from the Roman Catholic perspective; however, most can be used by all Christian denominations for informational purposes. Articles Currently Available: From Hauntings to Hallows: Tracing Halloween Witches, toads and souls of the dead. Definitely Halloween stuff. Most of us know Halloween dates back to pagan harvest celebrations, the end of the year and feasts of the dead. But did you know that All Saints Day and All Souls Day share these pagan roots? And that many notions we now associate with Halloween rose out of practices tied to All Souls Day on Nov. 2? … Turning cartwheels: Tracing the Advent wreath It's Advent: time for turning cartwheels. Centuries ago, before Christianity arrived in northern Europe, farmers lived in fear of winter. In that harsh, northern climate, December days were short and cold, when nothing grew. People feared that the sun would never return from its sojourn south on the horizon. … Purple, Pink, not blue: Tracing the colors of Advent candles Pink and purple, violet and rose. It's Advent and, one by one, we light them. The Advent candles. Advent is the first season of the church year, preparing us for the coming of Christ at Christmas. But Christmas colors are red and green. Where did purple come from? …. From magic to star-gazing: tracing the message of the Magi “Dear Wisemen, Why did you give frankincense, gold and myrrh to such a small baby? Jesus' family needed food, clothing and shelter. Why didn't you take the family home and give them those things? Morgan, a fifth grader at a Catholic school in northern Wisconsin, sent this question to me as part of a Christmas essay contest.

You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses. Now I know, brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did; but God has thus brought to fulfillment what he had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer. Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away.” The Word of the Lord Thanks be to God. -Page 5- Responsorial Psalm 4 (6:30am) Lord, let your face shine on us Second Reading 1 John 2:1-5a A reading from the first Letter of Saint John My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin.
