  • Counting Down to Christmas
    COUNTING DOWN TO CHRISTMAS n SECuLAr CELEBrATIOnS OF THE SEASOn , counting down the days to Christmas builds children up for nothing more than a feast, a vacation from school, and a cache of presents under the tree. For adults, the countdown leads to a tremen - I dous sigh of relief. Indeed, one of the most common countdowns today is provided for us by merchants, who solemnly warn, “Only XX shopping days until Christmas.” But for Catholics the end of Advent is not the end of holiday chores nor is its climax the festive celebration. Instead, the days that pass bring us closer to the birth of our Salvation, the Christ Child, who is the greatest Christmas gift we could ever receive. In religious celebrations of Advent and Christmas, counting down provides us with an opportunity to slowly reflect on the mysteries and wonder of the season. There are many ways to do this. An Advent calendar focuses on the nativity of Our Lord and on the symbols of the birth; the Jesse Tree centers on the Lord’s lineage and on salvation history. An O Antiphon House (used only the last eight days of Advent) helps us to reflect on the attributes of Christ described in the beautiful titles given to Him in these prayers. We offer some suggestions here.

But wherever you are on this tilted, spinning globe as you read these words, each of us, the whole planet, we are all sitting close — waiting. Waiting for Christ’s coming. For this is the season of Advent, the four weeks before Christmas. The word, advent, it comes from a Latin word. And it means “coming.” Aren’t we, the whole of the globe, aren’t we waiting for the coming of Christ? For the God in the manger who makes Himself bread? The Saviour in swaddlings who makes Himself our robe of righteousness? The Christ who makes precisely what none of us can — Christmas. It is only Christ alone who can make Christmas. We are waiting for the glorious coming of Christ.

  • Advent Intergenerational Learning Program Focus: Preparing for the Messiah
    Advent Intergenerational Learning Program Focus: Preparing for the Messiah 1. Introduction to Intergenerational Learning Intergenerational learning models are designed for a 2–3 hour timeframe with time for a meal included. The design format for an intergenerational learning model includes six parts. Registration and Hospitality Welcome people and ask them to sign-in for the program and make or receive name tags. Distribute Home Kits including the handouts for the session. Invite people to share a meal. (Depending on time of day, the program may end with a meal.) Part 1. Gathering Provide an overview of the program and theme. Conduct a community building activity and a forming groups activity (if necessary). Lead the group in prayer and song on the theme of the program. Part 2. All-Ages Opening Experience Intergenerational religious education begins with a multigenerational experience of the theme that all the generations share together. In-common experiences of generations are usually less verbal and more observatory than in the other three elements. In-common experiences equalize the ages, so that listening to music or singing, making an art project, watching a video, hearing a story, participating in a ritual, praying together, and so on, are things that different-aged people do at the same time and place in a similar manner. Learning is at a level where all may do it together. Part 3. In-depth Learning Experience Through structured learning activities and discussion all generations explore the meaning of the event and develop the ability to participate meaningfully in the event. In-depth learning experiences can be designed in one of three formats: The Learning Activity Center Format provides structured learning activities at a variety of stations or centers in a common area.

  • Sermon for Advent 3
    Sermon: Midweek of Advent 3 Jesse Tree: Promises and Fulfillment in Christ THEME: JESUS, THE LIFE OF JESSE’S TREE I. The deception of human eyes that see a dead stump of Jesse A. Hidden from sight is the Seed and the Root of Jesse’s tree. B. In water, He is revealed. II. The truth hidden in human form A. Human existence can seem to be barren and arid. B. But life arises with water. III. The victory of the Shoot from Jesse’s stump A. The promised Seed shoots forth. B. Life comes to every branch of Jesse’s tree. INTRODUCTION A Seed was promised at the beginning of the Bible, and that was the beginning of the story of our salvation. That Seed was preserved when God protected the life of Isaac, the promised son of Abraham and the bearer of the promise of the Seed of the woman. Through the centuries, God had protected His erring and sinful chosen line. From Jesse, the descendant of Abraham and Isaac, He gave the promise of the Seed to David, the son of Jesse and the great king of Israel. And so it continued for generation after generation. And when it seemed the darkest, when the promises of God appeared to be only a distant sound echoing to deaf ears, a daughter of Adam, of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jesse, and of David brought forth a Son. This Son grew to be a man and lived among His creation. Not as a mighty king like David. Not in the palaces of the powerful.

  • Services and Music List
    Services and Music List December 2019 Front cover illustration: Icon of the Tree of Jesse. Jesse Trees are a very old Christmas tradition dating from mediaeval times. They are used to tell the story of the Bible from creation to the Birth of Christ. Depictions of the Tree of Jesse are based upon the prophecy of Isaiah 11:1-2: And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. WELCOME TO BELFAST CATHEDRAL A chorister singing the pure notes of “Once in Royal David’s city”, the soaring tones of a cathedral choir, carols new and familiar, candlelight, and congregations gathering to share in this year’s carol services. For so many, this is the essence of Christmas. For many these are the defining characteristics of the choir of Belfast Cathedral. It is all these which make the month of December one of my favourite times of the year. And this year will be the first for our choir under the direction of Mr Matthew Owens. The month will begin with the powerful and atmospheric Advent Carol Service at 6.30pm on Sunday 1st December, Advent Sunday. With the season of Advent the church calls a halt to the onward rush of Christmas come too soon. The music of Advent is more sober, more reflective, calling us to watch and wait.

  • Yule! – Douglas E
    OF A ROSE: A Chorale Christmas Notes, Texts and Translations – PhoCho1001 1. Welcome, Yule! – Douglas E. Wagner It would be an unusual musician who has not performed at least one work by Douglas Wagner, the prolific American composer whose music encompasses pieces for choir, concert band, orchestra, handbell choirs, organ, piano, and vocal and instrumental solos. Wagner spent many years as a music educator and administrator in secondary education, but now devotes himself to composition full time. An ASCAP award-winning composer, his music has been performed or broadcast in more than twenty-six countries, while sales of his music number in the millions. Welcome, Yule! is first found in a manuscript dating to the reign of Henry VI, now preserved in the British Library, but is presumably of even greater antiquity. (Another version was recorded by John Audlay, the “blind monk-poet of Haughmond,” who was writing in the 1420s.) Although the original text encompasses more than Christmas, making references to Stephen, John, Thomas, the Holy Innocents, Twelfth Day, Candlemas (the feast marking Jesus‟s presentation at the Temple and Mary‟s purification), and the saints, Wagner has set only the first and fifth verses of the poem. 2. Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day – arr. David Willcocks This carol was first published in 1833 but it is far older than that. Scholars believe it dates back to the medieval Cornish mystery plays presented during the Christmas season. The tune is lovely – but it is the imagery of man as the true eternally wooed love of Christ that makes this a carol.

    Issue 103 The Wonder of the Season: How Christians through the ages have heralded the birth of Jesus Did You Know? THE POETRY OF CAROLS Most of the “traditional” carols we sing today were not sung in church until the second half of the nineteenth century. In fact, many didn’t start out as songs at all. Isaac Watts wrote the words for “Joy to the World” in 1719, but it wasn’t set to music until Lowell Mason did so in 1839, possibly lifting pieces of the melody from THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE OF 1914 Handel. There are all kinds of stories about the Christmas truce Charles Wesley wrote the words that would become of 1914 during the First World War—so many that some “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” as a poem in 1739. In people believe it is only a bit of wishful thinking that 1840, Felix Mendelssohn wrote a tune later adapted by keeps the legend alive. Yet letters and other eyewitness William H. Cummings to fit Wesley’s words. accounts bear out the fact that, for a moment, human goodness won the day. Here’s what we do know—starting on Christmas Eve, many German and British troops stationed along the western front sang Christmas carols to each other across the lines. On Christmas morning, some German soldiers emerged from their trenches and approached the Allies calling out “Merry Christmas” in their ene- mies’ native tongues. The men exchanged presents such as cigarettes and rations. There are even stories of a football game breaking out. Along with their quiet celebration, soldiers from both sides used the cease-fire to gather the bodies of their brothers who had fallen in the no-man’s-land between enemy lines.
