Saint Philip's in the Hills Calendar and Announcements: The Week of Quinquagesima WORSHIP AND ACTIVITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE We welcome children in our worship, and we recognize and value the fact that children are wonderfully spontaneous. If you wish, you may make use of the soft space in the West Transept, with an open carpeted area and baskets of soft toys and books (the West Transept is near the front, to the left if you are facing the altar). There is also a more private room, known as the Bride’s Room, off of the East Transept, where you may go if you need that type of facility. There is also nursery care available at no charge from 8:30AM until 12:30PM in the Children’s Center. On second Sundays at 9:15AM, we have a special “Comfy Space” service for those who tend to wiggle during worship and those who worship with them, held in the Children’s Chapel. During the school year, the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Atriums are open for Children’s Formation (Rooms 6,7 and 8 in the Children’s Center) and Youth Groups meet in La Parroquia at 10:15AM. COMMUNION All are welcome to come forward at the time of Communion. The standard practice in the Episcopal Church is that those who are Baptized are welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you are visiting today and are not Baptized but are feeling drawn to receive Communion, we hope that you will come forward and receive, and that afterwards you will talk to one of the clergy about Baptism and what it means both to take Bread and to become part of the Body. If you don’t want to receive communion or are unsure, you are more than welcome to come forward for a blessing, indicated by crossing your arms over your chest. If you have a food sensitivity that requires a gluten-free Communion Wafer, simply mention that to the clergy person administering Communion. The receptacle containing the gluten-free Hosts will be brought to you, and you may help yourself to a Host (to avoid cross-contamination). To receive the Wine, you may either drink from the common Chalice or hold it for the Chalice Minister to intinct for you and place on your tongue. For those who have difficulty approaching the Communion rail, you have the option of receiving Communion in your seat. Simply notify an usher, or ask a parishioner seated near you to notify an usher for you. RESTROOMS Restrooms are located in the hallway north of the Murphey Gallery, across the Fishpond Garden and up the walkway from the Church. There is a diaper changing table in the gender-neutral ADA-compliant restroom there. Changing tables are also found in both the men’s and women’s restrooms in the Music Center. ACCESSIBILITY This facility is fully accessible. Please speak to an usher if you need assistance. The main area of the Church, forward of the choir stalls, is looped to assist those who have difficulty hearing. If you have a T-coil in your hearing aid, you may sit anywhere in this section and hear via the amplification system.Hearing assist devices are also available from the ushers. These are operational anywhere in the Church. The ushers will ask for your car keys as a reminder to return the device. Large print copies of the Book of Common Prayer are available from the ushers for your use during the service.

  • The Epiphany Gospels MICHAEL ROGNESS

    The Epiphany Gospels MICHAEL ROGNESS

    Word & World Volume 24, Number 1 Winter 2004 Texts in Context “You are my Son, the Beloved”: The Epiphany Gospels MICHAEL ROGNESS he Epiphany season is placed awkwardly between the pillars of Christmas and Lent, generally a somewhat down time in pastoral activity. Among early Greek Christians, however, this season focused on Jesus’ baptism as the manifestation of his true person and mission. As a church festival it ranked right up there with Easter and Pentecost. The Western or Latin church shifted the emphasis of Epiphany to Jesus’ manifestation to the Gentiles, marked by the visit of the foreign magi from the East, those strange astrologers who saw the star (or conjunction of planets) announcing the birth of a king among the Hebrews. Therefore Matt 2:1–12 launches the Epiph- any story. This puzzles listeners in the pews, because our image of the wise men has been formed by Sunday School Christmas tableaus, with three boys standing to one side of the manger draped in their parents’ bathrobes and holding aluminum- foil-wrapped boxes as presents for the Bethlehem child. By December 26 we’re done with the wise men, but here they come again, twelve days later, singing “We Three Kings of Orient Are.” It’s an odd chronology, though probably not a problem for most Protestant churches, since few of us will actually worship on January 6 itself! FIRST SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY (THE BAPTISM OF OUR LORD): LUKE 3:15–17, 21–22 The Epiphany theme begins more logically with the baptism of Jesus. This year’s sequence will strike the preacher as odd, however, since the Gospel lessons of As the season of Epiphany progresses, the appointed Gospel readings make clearer and clearer the meaning of the voice at Jesus’ baptism: “You are my Son, the Beloved.” The preacher’s task is to present this message as fully as possible.

As you hear God’s Word, we pray that you would find peace and strength in our Lord, Jesus Christ. PRE-LENT is the season in which the Church begins to prepare for the Lenten Fast. It is the pre- game or warm up for Lent. Time to start thinking repentance and faith! Time to work out turning your eyes from you and putting them on Jesus! Time to start the countdown for Easter! PreLent is the season of the "Gesima” Sundays where the Church begins to count the days until Easter. Septuagesima means "70th." Sexagesima means "60th.” Quinquagesima means "50th." Each Sunday gives us a rough estimate of how many days we have until Easter. Happy Pre-Lent! Start getting ready, Lent is almost here! Communion Policy In the Lord's Supper, our Lord Jesus Christ gives to us His Body to eat and His Blood to drink for the remission of our sins (Matt. 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24, Luke 22:19-2). Our Lord invites to His table those who trust His words and repent of all sins. Because Holy Communion is a proclamation and confession of the Faith which is confessed at this altar (1 Cor.

    Epiphany in Australia Epiphany Is a Christian Observance in Countries Such As Australia on January 6 Each Year

    Epiphany in Australia Epiphany is a Christian observance in countries such as Australia on January 6 each year. It commemorates the three wise men’s (or kings’) visit to Jesus after his birth, as told in the Christian bible. This feast is also known as the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Various artwork relating to Epiphany often show the three wise men (or kings). ©iStockphoto.com/kim258 What Do People Do? Many churches, particularly Catholic churches, in Australia have special Epiphany services on or around January 6 each year. Many Epiphany church services focus on the three wise men’s (or kings’) visit to Jesus after his birth. However, many churches also focus on the theme of Jesus’ baptism, in which Jesus’ public life begins with his baptism by John the Baptist. Some churches may have social gatherings, including morning teas, after an Epiphany church service. Background Epiphany commemorates the first two occasions on which Jesus’ divinity, according to Christian belief, was manifested: when the three kings visited infant Jesus in Bethlehem, and when John the Baptist baptized him in the River Jordan. The Roman Catholic and Protestant churches emphasize the visit of the Magi when they celebrate the Epiphany. The Eastern Orthodox churches focus on Jesus’ baptism. Symbols Various paintings, artworks and sketches show the three wise men and Jesus. Some paintings artworks show the three wise men on the way to Bethlehem or adoring baby Jesus. The kings are important because their visit illustrates that Jesus was the king of all kings who came for the Jews and the Gentiles.

    The Mass As the Liturgical Calendar and Computus

    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 13, 2015-16 Irène Guletsky - The Mass as the Liturgical Calendar and Computus The Mass as the Liturgical Calendar and Computus IRÈNE GULETSKY During the second half of the 1990s, I had the good fortune to work on my doctoral thesis at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the supervision of two amazing scholars, professors Judith Cohen and Dalia Cohen (of blessed memory).1 I remember with pleasure this time spent in intensely creative work, our meetings, fascinating discussions, and occasional heated debates on various issues to do with the philosophical and theoretical views of the Renaissance, the form of the Mass and methods of its analysis. Our opinions did not always coincide—a consequence of different schools and scientific traditions. Judith was a disciple of Kurt von Fischer, and she, like her mentor, regarded the Mass primarily from the standpoint of the embodiment of the original source and the features of the counterpoint (a completely justified view).2 This strictly academic approach favored by Judith, accounted for her rather cautious, even skeptical attitude to my ideas of analyzing the cycle form as a kind of structure and a crystal, which characterize this genre as a whole. Admittedly, Judith had sufficiently valid reasons for being skeptical. After all, it is a known fact that the Mass—the five-part Ordinary—was not performed as a single separate composition, but had been distributed through the liturgy, and thus, as many scholars would have it, could hardly be defined as a form.3 Judith would bring the flight of my ideas firmly back to earth, dampening my fervor by demanding proof for every assertion, making me perform meticulous work on the text and bibliography.
  • The Liturgical Year

    The Liturgical Year

    The Liturgical Year The Liturgical Year The liturgical church year consists of an organization of Scripture readings and liturgical emphases that tell the story of Godʼs saving work in Jesus Christ in a recurring pattern. Within protestantism, the liturgical year has been organized in more than one way. At Christ Church, the liturgical year is divided into 7 distinct seasons. They are: The Season of Advent The Season of Christmas (sometimes called Christmastide) The Season of Epiphany The Season of Lent The Season of Easter (sometimes called Eastertide) The Season of Pentecost The Season of Dominiontide Liturgical Colors Liturgical colors are used in paraments (draped cloths) hung over the altar and lecterns and in other ways (ministerial/choir stoles, etc.) to call attention to each particular season and its emphasis. The variety of liturgical colors in the church arose from the mystical meaning attached to them in antiquity. Thus white, the symbol of light, typifies innocence and purity, joy and glory; red, the symbol of fire and blood, indicates the flames of the Holy Spirit and the blood of martyrs; green, the hue of plants and trees, bespeaks the hope of life eternal, as well as growth and vitality; violet (or purple), the gloomy cast of the mortified, denotes affliction, melancholy and penitence; while black, the universal emblem of mourning, signifies the sorrow of death and the somberness of the tomb. Originally, these were the only colors used in the church. Now, however, many churches (including our own) sometimes use blue and gold, as well as other colors. Blue is used in Advent to symbolize the peace and joy that the birth of the long-awaited Messiah brings; gold is sometimes used at Easter and on Christ the King Sunday to signify the royalty of the risen King of kings.

    Resources for the Home During the Advent/Christmas/Epiphany Season

    Resources for the home during the Advent/Christmas/Epiphany Season The church year has a rhythm of seasons. Advent marks the beginning of this cycle and is a time of preparation. It is a time we remember all the ways that God has come to us and will come to us. It's a time of waiting, expectancy, and contemplation. On December 25th we celebrate the great feast of Jesus' birth. May your family find joy and hope as you anticipate the coming of our Savior. This year, more than ever, we are spending more time at home with our families. Make a commitment this year to have family devotions and retell the story of Jesus birth. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Advent On the first Sunday of Advent (November 29th this year), set up an Advent wreath in a place where your family gathers. Many people make it the center piece for their table. Light the wreath each night at dinner or every Sunday (One candle for each week of Advent). Read Advent prayers and sing an Advent hymn. See the dinner prayers included in this packet. More ideas for prayers, readings, activities, and songs can be found on the internet or in Christian bookstores. Also enjoy opening the Advent Calendar each morning! If you have a crèche, put it in a place that is accessible to children. Try putting the shepherds, Mary and Joseph and Wise men in different places around the house. Have them move closer each day as if they are getting closer to Bethlehem. Some people like to wait until Christmas morning to put their baby Jesus in the manger.
  • “It's More Than a Liturgical Calendar: It's a Way of Life”

    “It's More Than a Liturgical Calendar: It's a Way of Life”

    “It’s More than a Liturgical Calendar: It’s a Way of Life” Reverend Mary Altalo INTRODUCTION Our entire world has one glorious model of liturgical cycles—the seasons. Cycles of birth, life and death abound as living examples of the patterns, complexities, ever-changing state and glories of life—this life, in “flesh”, here and now. Nature itself is the one common experience of all humankind-- the one uniting pattern for all of the religions and sects, of all time; and if we destroy the seasonal nature of our planet, do we not destroy the immanent pattern for religion as well? The cycles are not confined to this earth existence alone, as we participate in the “seasonality” of the entire universe, in a constant cycle of expansion and contraction, a state of constant change, evolving into complexity, in a constant state of “becoming”. And it is this light that I write this paper, with the goal of representing our liturgical cycles in context: the context of our ever constant journey towards union with the Divine Consciousness and aiding humanity in doing the same. Jesus was the role model for this and his ultimate gift to humanity was teaching us that attaining Divine consciousness through the fusion of the transcendent nature of God and the immanent qualities of the life –force contained in the body was possible. The body/mind-soul-spirit “combo” was now sufficiently evolved to aid us in the process of transformation. In fact he commanded us to do this and to follow his lead. But somewhere along the line, some of the followers lost sight of the goal, or rather began to doubt that this transformation was possible and thus the attention was diverted from teaching HOW to attain mystical union as Jesus taught and demonstrated, to teaching ABOUT Jesus.
