The four Sundays of Advent follow the individual themes: First Sunday A call to watchfulness, one knows not when Second Sunday John Baptist assumes the role of herald Third Sunday The relationship between John and Jesus Fourth Sunday Mary obediently accepts her role The first two Sundays focus our attention on the second coming of Jesus as our hope, and in the prophecies of the First Covenant. The second two Sundays remind us of the preparations God made for Jesus’ birth at Bethlehem in fulfilment of those prophecies. We are reminded that we live in the between times, the now of our salvation and the not yet of its complete fulfilment. The themes are those of hope and expectation for both the first and second comings of Christ. They challenge us to reconsider and engage with Word and Liturgy the revelation of Christ’s

(See notes on page 2) The readings for Christmas Day services recognise that there are often many children present so the set passage is Luke 2: 1-20 with the same option of replacing it with John 1: 1-14. John 1: 1-14 has been included as the principal reading of the first Sunday after Christmas with the option of Luke 2:41-52 as an alternative. This set of changes allows for the previous gospel passages to be used, but adjusted to accommodate the particular needs of the local congregation.
