Advent Procession of Lessons and Carols the First Sunday of Advent Sunday, December 1, 2019 Sunday, December 1, 2019 3 P.M Our vision A spiritually alive world Our mission Reimagining church with courage, joy and wonder PHOTO: CREATIVE COMMONS CC0 Advent Procession of Lessons and Carols The First Sunday of Advent Sunday, December 1, 2019 Sunday, December 1, 2019 3 p.m. Welcome to Grace Cathedral Welcome to this sacred place where we are reimagining church with courage, joy and wonder. Every year we choose a theme to help us explore new ideas and to listen for God’s calling. In 2019 our theme is the Year of the Body. Our body is the way we meet the world and the world meets us. Although we share much that is in common, our bodies are each unique and particular, and every body is worthy of respect. We believe that God participated in the world through a body. So we will be examining how we care for bodies, how we treat different kinds of bodies and how we are part of the earth’s body. This year we will dance together, eat together and study what it means for Christians to understand the church as the Body of Christ. We invite you to be part of this body, this joyful community, even if your visit is short. How is God inviting you to be more truly alive today? What are our bodies saying to us? May God bless you in this holy place! – The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral • If you are new to Grace Cathedral, please introduce yourself and fill out a welcome card so we can be in touch with you. We’re glad you’re here! • Join us for coffee and conversation across the plaza in the Chapter House Library after the 8:30 a.m. service or in the Chapter House Dining Room after the 11 a.m. service. about today’s readings Isaiah 2:1-5; Psalm 122; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:36-44 Reading texts can be found at the end of the service leaflet Mountaintop experiences in scripture cue us to the possibility of extraordinary encounters with God. In Isaiah’s vision, people will stream to the mountain, marching to meet their God. Perhaps the whole season of Advent could be seen as a journey to a mountaintop experience of Christmas, God revealed in fragile, human flesh. The dazzling vision of the mountaintop experience encourages our upward climb. That climb may include a thrilling—or exhausting— “roller coaster” of emotions. The most amazing encounters between God and God’s people in the scriptures are almost never convenient or instantly accessible. First; we set out on a journey, and the work we do along the way, even the process itself, prepares us. Advent isn’t a season of passive waiting around; Advent is a season of active, anticipatory waiting—in our busy, go-go-go culture, that can seem radical. Creating some space, some stillness, some silence, can be difficult. For some, a daily, ten-minute practice of stillness is about as hard as climbing a mountain. What is your mountain to climb in this Advent season?

High and low, rich and poor, one with another, Go ye out to meet him and say: Stir up thy strength, and come To reign over thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. – Advent Matins Responsory The Collect Dean May God be with you. All And also with you. Let us pray. Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The First Lesson The people sit. Genesis 1: 1–5 God creates light in the darkness. read by Canon Hookom Anthem Elizabeth Poston Choir The tree of life my soul hath seen, laden with fruit and always green: The trees of nature fruitless be compared with Christ the apple tree. His beauty doth all things excel: by faith I know, but ne'er can tell the glory which I now can see in Jesus Christ the apple tree. For happiness I long have sought, and pleasure dearly I have bought: I missed of all; but now I see 'tis found in Christ the apple tree. I'm weary with my former toil, here I will sit and rest awhile: under the shadow I will be, of Jesus Christ the apple tree. This fruit doth make my soul to thrive, it keeps my dying faith alive; Which makes my soul in haste to be with Jesus Christ the apple tree. – Anon, collection of Joshua Smith, New Hampshire, 1784 Hymn (NEH 19b) The people stand as the procession moves to the Great Font.

This flow'r whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air dispels with glorious splendor the darkness ev'rywhere.

  • Advent-Christmastide 2015
    Advent/Christmastide 2015-2016 Unless otherwise noted, all I John: Darkness & Light Scripture quotations are from The Holy Bible, English Standard Version® (ESV®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved. I John 1:5 In elementary school, we learn that ordinary light can be split up into many colors (seven, to be exact). All of these colors combine wonderfully to give us the full spectrum light we experience each day in the rays of the sun. Full spectrum light is full, complex, and rich. It brings life and flourishing everywhere it travels. Take it away, and the world would eventually be enshrouded in death. Each year as fall turns into winter and the days get progressively shorter, many of us begin to experience the toll that darkness takes upon us. Our mood sinks and we can find it harder to go about the daily tasks of life. We begin to long for the return of the healing light of the sun. Certain types of artificial light try to mimic what the sun can do, but they are, in the end, cheap and garish substitutes for the real thing. The biblical narrative tells a story of a world that was enveloped in darkness―a darkness of sin, prideful autonomy, and foolish efforts to create our own light. And, into this great darkness, God―the true Light―has come. Jesus is the Light that has come into our darkness. His light is full, complex and rich.

  • An Advent Candle-Lighting Liturgy
    CHRISTMAS APPEAL 2016 An Advent candle-lighting liturgy This liturgy for lighting the candles on your Advent wreath enables the whole church to reflect on people without a safe place to call home this Christmas, and to pray that together we may light the way. Please share photos of your Advent candle wreaths with us on social media using #LightTheWay. Please feel free to adapt, extend or abbreviate the liturgy according to your context. (This reflection/poem can be read every Sunday as an introduction to the liturgy.) From light comes life. Deep in expectant earth, a seed stretches. Through the fire-start of imagination, an idea takes root. In a passionate flash, love glows with infant intensity. Safe in the womb, a child senses its season turning and stirs. It is Advent, something coming, vulnerable in its unstoppable desire… God, unquenchable light, may they grow – the seed, the love, the idea, the child. This Christmas, 65 million people simply can’t Voice 2: When hope hangs low in the human be at home. Forced out by the darkness of heart, you, loving creator, kindle violence and fear, they’re searching for safety compassion, breathing life into the and refuge. early embers of change and empathy. As we light the candles on our Advent wreath, Light the candle. we pray for Christian Aid, and all who seek to light the way out of poverty and darkness. Voice 1: We light a candle for hope, sending prayers high into the inky heavens and dreams deep into the human soul. First Sunday in Advent Voice 2: As Advent dawns, God of all hope, Let us pray shine your light on the story of the saints who journeyed before us.

  • Christmastide Devotional
    THE MISSION OF CHRISTMAS A Christmastide Devotional Advent/Christmastide 2020 THE MISSION OF CHRISTMAS A Christmastide Devotional Advent/Christmastide 2020 Hope Church 2609 Seminole Road Columbia, SC 29210 hopechurchcola.org If you were like me, I grew up believing that 25 December was the end of the Christmas season. However, according to the Church calendar, it’s twelve days long! When you stop to think about it (if you have that time) it makes sense. Why, after an entire month of longing and waiting and remembering, would we celebrate for one day and be done? I would hope our celebration, not only spills over into the twelve days of Christmastide but that the hope and joy of Christmas would never leave our hearts. As with the Advent Worship Guide, this devotional was never intended to replace any regular study of the Word, but to supplement and be an addition to your regular time with the Lord. Each of these devotionals were written out of hearts that love the Lord and desire that all hearts are His alone. The hope is that you are not only encouraged in your walk with the Lord by the testimonies and encouragement from dear brothers and sisters at Hope Church but that a fire is stoked in your belly to go and tell. Go and tell your neighbor. Go and tell your friend. Go and tell the family member that you see only during the holidays. Go and tell! May this be our heartbeat. May we not be ashamed of the gospel! May we be compelled to tell everyone we meet that the King has come and He’s going to come back! He will right all the wrongs.

  • The Advent Wreath
    THE ADVENT WREATH We know that ADVENT means COMING, and we know that Christmas is coming, but the season of Advent reminds us there is more to Christmas preparations than gift lists, frantic shopping, school plays and party schedules, etc. All the December activities make it easy to put off preparing our hearts for the true meaning of our Christmas celebration. The Advent wreath helps us keep a balance in our lives during the weeks of expectancy. The tradition of the family gathered around the table before a meal, lighting Advent candles, saying Advent prayers and sharing appropriate readings helps us to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child -- - as for many centuries God prepared the world for the birth of Jesus. The circle of the wreath reminds us that God has no beginning and no end. The evergreens represent the promise of eternal life. The candles represent Jesus’ overcoming the darkness of hatred and evil with the light of joy and love. The brief ritual described below, and on the following pages, is to be used each evening when the family gathers, beginning on the first of the four Sundays in Advent and continuing each day of the week. Adapt it if you like to include other prayers and verses. Some prefer to use “Advent Blue” candles. Other traditions use red or white. You may also choose to add a white “Christ candle” in the center to light on Christmas Eve. THE FIRST WEEK IN ADVENT A family member lights one (only) purple candle, saying: “I light this candle to remind us that we must prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child.” COLLECT for the first week in Advent (said by all): “Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your son, Jesus Christ, came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

  • The Cathedral of All Saints
    BETHESDA EPISCOPAL CHURCH Washington Street near Broadway Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 THE FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT 3 DECEMBER 2017 3:00 P.M. About this Service In 1934, sixteen years after he had introduced to King’s College, Cambridge, the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols for Christmas Eve, the Dean, The Very Reverend Eric Milner-White, composed a similar service for Advent Sunday. His concern for more imaginative forms of worship appears in the Preface he wrote to that service. “In the old English liturgies, the Advent Offices made a preparation for the coming of our Lord to this earth far more evident than those of the Prayer Book.” Intended to express “the desire of all nations and ages,” this Advent Carol Service had as its purpose “not to celebrate Christmas, but to expect it.” This service of ancient precedent is a vivid expression of the Church’s preparation for the coming of the Lord Jesus both in the festival of Jesus’ Nativity and in the consummation of the ages. In it we symbolize and express the loving bond that joins all within our fellowship and the peace within the whole Church, as well as the joy and worship of us all at the advent of the Son of Man. _______________________________________________________________ THE PARISH STAFF The Very Reverend Marshall J.
